I so love Finn's homework assignments. Fairly regularly, he has sums to practice, but more likely it is something more domestic. like tidy his room and take in the before and after picture, sew some buttons onto something, cook the tea. So this is the tea. He did choose his favourite. He likes his bacon well cooked!! If his father is reading this, he will note that his son had his hair cut.
I was nearly moved one night when Finn asked me to sit down beside him. He took both my hands in his and looked me in the eye and said "Mum! I want you to know that I really appreciate everything you do for me" I stared at him for a moment and then said "Homework?" He nodded somberly. He was very disappointed I hadn't broken down in tears as one mother had. Every now and then he tries the same trick when he is in trouble for something.
I took the car in to be fixed today. We only just made it over the hill to town. $1400 to get everything sorted and through it's Warrant of Fitness (WOF). Happy days!
It was windy last night and I was surprised to wake to clear blue skies and 6 degrees in the kitchen. Balmy. That's the Westerlies for you!
grateful for:
Spook having arrived in Squamish around mid-day my time. Seems Uncle David was missing his bike and his mate, but all of them should be re-united by tomorrow.
A morning spent cleaning up at the house at Mt Barker. The birds and warmth were like spring. I stood and looked at the view and had a wee twinge for my own doorstep.
