The good bits of March 2025

Things that made me laugh:

World Book Day - Where's Wally?

Took granddaughter out for the day, we got 200 yards from the house and she said 'I miss my mummy and daddy' I said I missed her daddy too. I then asked her, if her daddy missed me as his mummy' and she said 'no he doesn't, he's a grown up now' She then thought for a moment and said ' I wonder how my mummy and daddy will manage without me while I'm out with you'

I've had the flu, I can name the student I caught it from as I did end up sending them home after throwing a box of tissues at them yelling, cover your mouth when coughing and cough into the tissue, their response was 'I thought tissues were only for sneezing into'

I took this photo outside Birmingham Football Club and sent it to the family chat. The middle two boys recognised it straight away. Neither of them knew I was going to the match. But recognised the fence from 2009 that Peter reversed into and they've never let him live it down.

Places we visited:

Our Granddaughter and brand-new grandson.

Football. I finally got myself back to St Andrews to watch Birmingham City play twice.

I managed a nights camping.

Peter spent two weeks with his friend in Turkey.

We visited Peter's mum, his niece and great nephew.

Things we did at home:

Furniture got moved. Well the desk moved from the lounge to the dining room. The sideboard moved from the dining room to the bedroom giving us more space for our clothing, freeing up a double wardrobe in the spare room for when the family come to stay. 

There was a tip run with a double mattress that my friend helped me load into the car. Material got dropped into school for textile lessons. A pile of books for mum and a load of stuff for the charity shops. 

The loft rooms were rearranged and I've now got space to start sorting through the last of my father's belongings.

I started work on the garden and I moved the green house, weeded the raised beds and planted some seeds and rearranged the patio area.

We celebrated the cats 16th birthday.

How was your March? Did you get up to much?
