Yes folks, it's a Bank Holiday. Dare we even suggest that someone up there might take pity on us and allow some decent weather on a Bank Holiday for once? Apparently not, as it's now nearly 8pm and the rain has not stopped all sodding day. We had plans for a picnic in the park with good friends and a zillion kids, climbing on their favourite pirate-ship climbing frame and with the adults no doubt making tits of themselves on the open-air gym. There might have been cold home-made pizza on the menu, along with the obligatory egg sarnies, carrot sticks, grapes and cakes. It was all probably going to be washed down with some wine and beer, and maybe followed by a swift half in the local. It wouldn't have even mattered if it was cold, or windy, or the sun only popped it's head through the clouds once. But no, it was just not to happen. Someone up there owes us for next time.
Instead, we spent the day just the four of us, watching films and playing on the Wii. A brief supermarket visit was necessary and we're still drying out the raincoats from that short trip. To be fair it was nice to have just our little family hanging out at home, had some nice snuggles and there was no pressure. But small kids go stir-crazy and unfortunately several heads banging together was the eventual conclusion. Thankfully they are all tucked up in bed now, the epic show CDWM (Come Dine with Me) is on the tellybox and Husband is in the kitchen making chilli con carne for dinner. And naturally there is wine open...
One crucial job we did today was buy some potting compost to get my chilli seeds planted. Photos to follow, but this years crop should include some habaneros and Hungarian paprika, half-inched from the Eden Project. Not by me I hasten to add;)
