G'day, folks.
One day closer to Christmas. For most kids, school is finished for the school year, although officially there is still tomorrow (Friday). I'm letting difficult child 3 off tomorrow so we can go Christmas shopping. The place is likely to be packed so we're going early.
difficult child 3 put in some good work today although I would have liked him to finish his current worksheets. But he was simply not able to continue, he had been at it for too long, so we went to the beach for a swim before the forecast storm.
It's after dinner here, difficult child 3 is heading for his evening shower and fussing because his pyjamas were forcibly removed this morning, to be washed. It's a wonder they didn't walk to the laundry on their own!
And tonight he has to wear a pair of satin boxers, although he always wears a velour robe over the top. We're planning on going for an evening drive to look at the Christmas lights in the village. That is, if he eventually DOES have his shower, before it's time for husband & I to go to bed!
I just got back from a choir practice for our village carols night, to be held on Sunday. I'm hoping to get difficult child 3 involved in singing with the choir also. So far he seems happy with the idea. it's not going to be anything special - this choir is getting ONE rehearsal, that's all. Saturday afternoon. It should finish just in time for us to go to a party at daughter in law's parents' place.
Despite it being summer, cooler temperatures and rain have been forecast for the next week. Pity. We never get enough rain to water the garden, just enough to make the beach unpleasant with sand sticking to your skin. sister in law & family arrive on Tuesday, after which I will be very busy. I know they will be looking forward to the chance of a swim also.
Oh well...
Enjoy your Thursday.
