Good Morning Lovely Ladies
I was at work yesterday, for an extra long time. DD20 was home studying for Uni exams so she was here for DD16 to come home on the bus. Work was good, helped out with work arvo routine so DH could get away on time and not have to go in this morning. He has a meeting on the Central Coast mid morning, so he ended up getting a sleep in. Me, not so much.
Last night at about 11pm (when I was getting ready for bed) DD16 informs me that she 'can't' write her speech to be presented today at school. She had the 1st sentence written, but didn't know where to go from there. DD20 (great at English) had gone to bed for a good nights sleep before exam. So from 11pm until 1.30am 'we' were writing a 5min speech on Othello (Shakespeare). I have never read Othello, but still I was able to help. Give her idea's, help find quotes, etc. I now know more about Othello and possibly Shakespeare than I need to know. Anyway at 1.30am I said 'I'm out' and she should get to bed.
This morning she has read it and apparently we are not too dumb in the wee small hours. I am letting her go in late so she can practice a bit at home, now of course that means she is missing stuff at school, but what can you do.
I have been up at 6. Done 45mins on Treadmill. Heading for shower soon then dropping DD16 to school. Errands and groceries for DMum today, and I want to pick up some wool to make a few scarves. I like to crochet and knit in winter but have nothing I am working on atm. This arvo I need to do a bit of FLYing.
I am cooking my Meatloaf with BBQ sauce for dinner and all the trimmings that we love with it. No I'm not having it, but I might make myself a Turkey version with a little of the BBQ sauce as a treat. Anything else achieved today will be GRAVY.
Wishing you all a Wonderful Wednesday xoxo
