As with the last few weeks I’ve been slacking a bit. Â I’m frantically trying to finish the mammoth book I started reading (it’s hard going and I’m a tad bored with it), as well as catch up with my crochet. Â I usually snap away when I go for a walk on work lunchtimes, but haven’t managed much of that either. Â Must make more effort to go out more specifically to take photos.
Here’s this week’s photos for Project 365.
N was given lots of lego from his uncle, all organised neatly in colour based boxes. Â I’m wondering how long they’ll stay like that, but it does make life easier for finding the pieces you want. Â Mostly N is just playing with whatever’s built up, although he does have a few new kits to build up.
We’re learning spanish with Flashsticks. Â It’s going a bit slowly, mostly because N isn’t good at standing or sitting still and learning. Â So I’m just introducing a few words at a time. Â I did a couple of years of spanish when I was 12-13 and I’m surprised at how many words I do remember. The fridge is coming in handy, although the OH hates how scruffy it looks.
Tuesday, we got a surprise delivery from Vita Coco. Â We loved these drinks last year, so it was a nice surprise to get sent some more. Â Although I do prefer to get a heads up if something’s coming especially by courier. Â At the farm there are 3 households, 2 with the same surname. Â But couriers who leave ‘you’re not in’ cards, really need to write the name of the recipient on the cards. Â Luckily this one I could look online to find out that it was for me.
Wednesday, N began to have a box thing going on. Â He’s always quite liked a box, but I’d bought a new plastic box for him to put all the smaller lego boxes, so my brother could have his big plastic box back. Â N wasn’t having any of it, and fancied it for a bed or boat, depending on his urge. Â Why he also felt the need to get naked, I have no idea.
As well as boxes, this week’s been a lot about bikes. Â N’s balance bike is a little on the small side for him now – the seat won’t go any higher, but he’s got this bike on loan from one of my work colleagues in readiness for him learning on a pedal bike. Â He loves the bike, for starters it has a little basket on the back for carrying teddies in, and has a bell. Â The balance bike is also too muddy to bring in the house, so he’s been riding this Raleigh Ollie round the house instead.
On Fridays I pick N up from nursery at 3, and we head back to the farm so he can catch his dad at tea break. Â This is the normal picture outside the farm, although quite often there’s another couple of pairs of boots there too.
On Saturday N was out for the day for his friend’s birthday treat meal and cinema trip, so it was a day of chores for me. Â I’d hoped to spend the day catching up on blogging, going out doing a photography walk amongst other things, but ended up doing some chores, tidying up my mum’s house and and not doing any of the nice things I wanted to do. Â But I did nip into a local farm shop that I’ve never been to, and spotted they now have an artisan bakery on site. Â I decided to get our weekend bread from there and found that it’s not only a bakery but a tea room as well. Â Perfect for meeting up with friends out of town rather than having to pay for parking, although definitely one for a treat given the prices…even more than the french bakery we usually buy from.
I think the week coming is the calm before the storm (and then a week off for me) at work, so I’ll have to make sure I take my camera into work and head out to take photos at lunchtimes.

Love the Lego organisation! My kind of organisation lol #project365
Always nice to think that somethings can stay 4 organised with children
Love that wellie boot shot and N in the box. No way that Lego will stay like that for long!
that is a bit ocd with the lego, but no I doubt they will stay like that for long, they would not in our house.
Love all the muddy wellies lined up.
Laughed at the bike as a seat to watch tv.
So far so good. He’s more into the new kits we’ve got, than randomly making up his own creations at the moment. Might need a bigger box at this rate! Thanks for stopping by
love all those muddy wellies lined up in a row – the signs of a great day out
Definitely. Although this is just a normal day on the farm, 10 and 3 on the dot for coffee and tea break!
Oh my goodness look at that lego!!!! My son would love to have his organised like that I’m sure… don’t think it’s a job I relish though!! x
