Wind-down

After the wet and wild final week of school, we are trying to have a quiet wind down week.

Sleeping in with friends...
Pondering life's mysteries...
Contemplating how lovely a small child's profile is when a little head drinks from a big cup...
Putting things back in place from the chaos of the last weeks...
Eating whatever, whenever like watermelon on the deck (in progress) for breakfast...
Enjoying sun, free time and the foetal position as a lazy summer unrolls. This photo takes me back about ten years and he WAS a kicky one!
Sleeping, resting, lazing, recovering...relaxing. The big ones have taken a few days to figure it out. If anybody would give me half a chance I'd show them how easy it is!
It finally feels like summer.

Hanky Planky!

Conjugate the verb....
...to plank (pron: plong-k)

Je plank.

Tu plank.

Elle plank-in.

Nous plankt-on.

Ils Plank-letons!

Plank you.

Hello Yellow!

It must be Spring! Everything has burst into bloom outside- grevilleas, rock iris, daisies.It was the first swim of summer. A friend dropped in Sunday morning with her four and they all got in. (Except for the broken one.)
The Divine Miss M had one of her personal assistants carry her in and squealed with sheer delight.
Have you ever drunk hot tea out of a bendy straw? Lala made me this lot at about 5pm when I was getting tired and grumpy after two days with the Big fella away in his canoe. Girls just get it, don't they?With raised spirits we gave Shorty a yellow bath (the good kind) to celebrate Spring and that she has discovered that yellow is different to other colours.
What a wonderful first colour!
The ladies are still put out about the new members of the Ladies' Lounge but have bumped up egg production. It could be to outdo each other and curry favour.
More fabulous morning Yellow to wake up to on a Spring morning. I love these thrifted Pyrex and Bessamer bowls and the whisk is my favourite (also from Ron and Brian's) and the loveliest thing to use.
Yellow Spring!
