We've had a great weekend! It didn't start off so well as I didn't feel great until about 3pm on Saturday (exhaustion from first week back at work plus late night Fri plus 'time of the month') and neither did hubby (exhaustion/migraine).
However, when we picked up our daughter, Grace, from Pony Magic (1.5 hrs of riding and horse fare), a boy who she gets on really well with had asked his mum if Grace could come and play at his house sometime. That made me really happy as she doesn't have any close friends at school and is an only child. I tried the old play-date thing when she was in Reception and things were set for two children to come to ours one afternoon. A few days before, one mum gave backword as something had come up. The other child simply never turned up, despite me texting her mum a few days before as a reminder
. Grace was really upset so I've not tried since to set anything up.
Anyway, after Pony Magic, we visited MIL to find that Grace's cousin (a girl just one year younger that she hardly gets to see) was there ready to give her a big hug. They had a lovely time playing.
Today, we went to church and Grace was able to go to Explore (Sunday school) for the first time since March 2020!
This afternoon, we went for a walk from home and saw lots of beautiful ponies and horses which delighted a certain 7 year old!
We've also taken delivery of a table tennis table top for our kitchen table (how many 'tables' can you get in one sentence?
). We got it set up today. Great fun! It also means we can seat a couple more for Christmas dinner!
