Well, I'm here!!! Sort of
I haven't defected to another forum, and Bonnie was quite right, the builders have been taking over my life recently (thanks, Bonnie
)
They over-ran by nearly a fortnight, right into the school holidays which left me no time to unpack boxes, put the furniture back and get back to normal (isaac of course finds such mundane stuff even more boring than I do!). The new shelves in my "new" Playmoffice look great but we put linseed oil on them and it is taking forever to dry out (in spite of regular rubbing). Isaac has had a cough that has been keeping both of us up all night (the smell of linseed oil can't help) and we are all exhausted, my husband has been on 12 hour shifts so I have had no break from the trials and tribulations of parenthood/housework/unpacking and just when there was a light at the end of the tunnel, I realised it was some joker waving a torch at me
My Dad had a heart attack last Friday so we were hospital visiting for the weekend. He was allowed home on Monday so we've been up and down to his house to check up on him (we stayed overnight on Monday and all day Tuesday but we got kicked out as he wanted peace and quiet). After ten days Isaac's cough has finally been diagnosed as a chest infection (rather than viral bronchitis) so he has antibiotics and will hopefully get better in time to go back to school next week ........
We have had some of the Playmobil out as Isaac was rewarded for his good behaviour while Grandpa was in hospital with a fire car and a police car (from the secret stash in the loft). I haven't got my flat surfaces ready for action yet, so not much other Playmo activity but I'll be posting a few photos hopefully over the next few days and we are also about to sort out our Easter display.
Or we might take advantage of the fabulous weather we are having and pop down to the beach or just get out and enjoy the sunshine.
I see there has lots being going on photostory-wise on here, so I'll probably just be reading rather than posting for a while. Seems I have a lot of catching up to do.
