Chicken is cooking away in the oven. Nig has done some housework and is now attempting to tidy his van.

One child helping him the other one up stairs shouting at the telly.

Sun is shining and it is hot.

Stripped our bed today and just waiting for the sheets to dry before I put them back on, the kids were done yesterday. Mountain of ironing to do again, must do it though if the kids are going to have any uniform to wear!

And all I want to do is sit and sew or stuff my face.

I did do the picture of the stork in the end. no one ould do it for me, so I found a picture on the internet and attempted to copy it onto a very large piece of paper. This was fun! Try doing this on the floor with two dogs who think you are down there to play with them!!

Picture came out ok though despite a lot of rubbing out as I wasn't happy with the stork's head, and with a little bit of adjustment made by Nig to the beak, it is passable - well will be once I have painted it and put it on the display board!

I also drew a little cradle as well - quite pleased with my efforts especially as I have absolutely no talent for drawing at all!

Oh well off to do something constructive like peel some spuds ready to roast them lol!

Honestly why do I decide to do a roast dinner when it is boiling hot outside!
