Two weeks have passed

I have just realised that nearly 2 weeks have passed since I last updated what we have been up to and a few things have happened. The weekend before last Tem and Penny put up the coving in the dining room and boxed in a couple of pipes, its looking much better with that up, it feels more finished.
Meira and I have been in the garden as much as weather has allowed. Meira is a fantastic digger and soil mover, and is becoming an excellent bug spotter. She has been helping me to put some log roll around the border to the grass and helping me to water all the plants on sunny days. I have put a photo of the boarder here and also a photo of my Echinacea flower for Grandma to see, hopefully next year yours will look like this.
Last week on Tuesday we had a play afternoon here with 3 of Meira's friends; Faye, Zac and Tyler, and their Mummies. It was a lovely afternoon even though the weather meant we were all inside a little cramped with the amount if toys removed from the toy box. I set up the small play tent and play table (filled with toy animals, not water) in the dining room so the children could use both rooms and it worked quite well.
This Monday was Tem's 30th birthday but as he was working we celebrated on Sunday. We just had a lovely family day, decorating free, a nice walk over to the nature reserve strip, and a lovely Sunday dinner. Meira and I baked some fairy cakes topped with butter cream and mini marshmallows on Monday for Tem, it was a struggle not to eat them all before he got home from work though, he he.
Yesterday Meira and I had Lynn and her nephew Joshua come to visit. They came on the bus, well 3 buses here and 3 back and with the change time I think it took just over 2 hours each way! It was a much appreciated visit and lovely to see Joshua. Meira had great fun playing with the ball with him and trying to copy him heading the ball, made myself and Lynn laugh.
