it was a funeral of a lovely elderly lady from our church on fri morn. she was quite a character and this was reflected at the service!
I did the bible reading, which is the first time i've participated in a funeral...
the kids did well, stayed quiet & respectful except for fred continuously asking What's A Condom? *see, "she was quite a character"!
We haven't had a DS for ages & I finally got one 2nd hand on amazon for £35. its to keep fred quiet during meetings! its a white DSi & in great condition.
we have our chest freezer installed, many thanks! It's only got a few meats in there at the moment. I'm hoping to fill it with meals I've made myself. But i have barely done any cooking the past couple of weeks due to the painful jaw/ strong painkillers situation.
Dr says its tmj disfunction & Ive been referred to a surgeon (!) meanwhile when it gets painful i take the dihydrocodeine the dentist gave me, which knocks me out for 12 hours, and i have been rather foggy in the daytime so trying not to take it every day.
Took Ruby to her interview for studio school, with headmaster who was very gentle & accomodating.
Ruby froze and would barely acknowledge his questions.... it didn't go very well. He was not able to offer her a place, let's face it, he couldn't tell if she even wanted to go there!
I was very upset after, but realised it's cos I was putting my hope in her gettin a place rather than putting my hope in God's choice for her life.
Mr McInerney (head) was kind & asked us along to the curriculum event on monday night.
I don't know why I was surprised, Ruby only behaved in her usual manner with strangers. my expectations were way off!
And in the calm after the storm I'm aware that it will be a bit of a relief if she doesn't go there! altho' i will probably sign Ruby up to a couple of online gcse courses in sept to keep the momentum of having goals/a sharper purpose.
the mind boggles, trying to understand what the future holds. I know my God is sovereign, he knows the future, he has it all in his hands, I need to trust in that.
Beyonce the hen.
She had been disappearing daily, but returning. I made the fence a bit higher & clipped her wing a bit more. to no avail.
We found her among the tall weeds, sitting on a clutch of ten eggs! we quickly despatched them in the form of scrambled egg! Yum!
We have had a couple from Galadriel, they were almost full size & perfectly white.
Emmy & Beyonce are laying every day or so, and I found one tiny one the other day which must be Flora's effort.
It won't be long til we're overrun wiv eggs! hopefully!
Lola is desperate for an iphone (dream on!)
this is the hallow on terraria.
pretty, but terrifying.
occupying my boys minds.
