I have had the week off, it being the last week of school holidays, and also having looked at my leave allowance and decided I could totally do it and still take three weeks off at Christmas. And it's been a pretty good week. It's been very relaxing, and I've even managed some 'quality' time with the kids (as opposed to just having them annoy me). So what have I gotten up to?

Last Saturday, since it was forecast to be quite warm, I decided to skip grocery shopping and take the kids to the swimming pool. For some reason I could only persuade one of them, so Ashwyn and I had a lovely afternoon at the pool. I think it actually did my ankle some good too.

On Wednesday I went to visit [livejournal.com profile] irreparable at her new(ish) house, where we drank great volumes of tea and admired her garden in the spring sunshine. She gave me an inkle loom, which is pretty neat - now I just have to learn how to use it. I have been holding off making early period garb for a little while now for want of suitable and appropriate decoration (who wants a beautiful, hand-sewn silk bliaut with cruddy plastic store-bought trim on it?), so hopefully that will open up my garb range a bit.

On Friday we drove up to Gumeracha and had a picnic and then took the kids up the Big Rocking Horse (or at least, Andy took the kids up and down the Big Rocking Horse a couple of times, and I sat at the bottom in the shade). We missed blossom season, but it's still very pleasant up in the hills at this time of year.

In between I did a couple of jigsaws, played some Skyrim, made paper planes with the kids, did some sewing and some gardening, and generally enjoyed the lovely weather. I really am very fond of Spring, so long as I am loaded up with anti-histamines.

Back to work on Monday, which I can't say I am entirely looking forward to, but I shall only be there for one week as the week after that I am heading to Canberra for a whole week for a training course. Then only six more weeks and I shall be off on Christmas holidays. So there's that...

Now, about that tax return...
