What we've been up to

Well, as you may have realized, I took a small blogging holiday during the whole month of July. Here is an account of some of the things we got busy with:

# We harvested the potato crop

  

 # We made crumbles and jam from the apricots

# We went shopping for clothes in the sales in Tarragona
# We went up to Barcelona by train to buy fabric to make skirts, blouses and aprons

# We have been countless times to have supper down at the beach and play with our inflatable boat
# We had a friend to stay from Romania
# We celebrated my birthday and visited a bird of prey training centre (future post on this) and I received presents from near and far.

# We went to a concert given by the flute orchestra from the University of Nagoya, Japan
# We visited the outdoor market in Calafell, which was quite an experience, to be sure (future blog post on this, too)
# We have been freezing courgettes, beans and onions like there was no tomorrow

 

# We made a hot pan stand from clothes pegs (future post on this)

# We visited the newly weds at their home
# We took hubby's Mum for a look around IKEA and bought a few things for the home

# We have also been very busy deep cleaning and tidying up the house and garden, sorting things out, with plenty of reorganizing and throwing out
# I have also been working for 4 hours practically every afternoon as a nanny
# We have also been trying to keep up with some kind of homeschooling, finishing off projects and workbooks etc.
# We've also had many suppers outside
# Baking special chocolate cup cakes (no egg or dairy)

# We have also been getting up to date with all the more normal jobs around the house like cleaning, ironing, laundry, hair cuts, etc
# I have been playing the piano and reading
# Last but not least, we have been planning August, what to do and where to go.
I will be posting when I get the time.
