We stayed in today as we all had things we needed to do - apart from Mark and Roman who popped to Asda before tea to buy more eggs. Can you believe since yesterday (when I went food shopping) we have been through 17 eggs? Six to make scrambled eggs to go with tea last night, two to make a cake last night, four to go on the bacon and egg sandwich's for lunch and five to go in the cake for tomorrow = seventeen eggs! Anais watched "Edward Scissor Hands" on Film 4 while they went to Asda - Roman was scared!
Anais finished painting and assembling her wooden violin model..............

Roman started painting his fighter jet grey and black though it is not finished yet. He prefers the building part to the painting part.................
Anais looked at the Origami pages in her craft book and had a go. Here is a fox she made and coloured in.................
Roman made a necklace...........
Roman made a white loaf for lunch tomorrow, Anais made a wholemeal loaf. Here they are just before they went in the oven, they had risen a LOT!
Here they are after they had come out of the oven................
I made a cake, sponges are now in the fridge ready to be iced tomorrow so it is fresh. Mark made this to go on the side patio, it is not finished yet.
It is to put fire kindling wood in and bags of coal. Guess what it is made out of?
The old shed! When he took the old shed down he saved the side pieces to build something to put kindling in and still has a side piece left which he will (eventually) get round to making another log store under the side entry of the house. It is handy to have a log store under the house so when we need more wood on rainy days we don't get wet going to the log store at the bottom of the garden - we can just pop out of the side door for wood!
I finally finished my book, Kjell Eriksson "The Hand that Trembled" and was pleased that I had finished it as couldn't really get into it. It was looong and slooow and an anti climax at the end. Next read is "The Book Thief" Markus Zusak which I am eager to read as I have been on the reservation list since Easter.
Also today Anais and Roman each did their homework. We played Cluedo and Ker Plunk before Anais and Roman went to bed.
Mark started another batch of two demi johns of wine - chardonnay and rose.
