Today I was really clever and made tea before I picked the girls up from school. Mondays is a hectic day, we go from school to piano so that the girls can have their lessons; when one is at piano I'm with the other at Port Chalmers library and then we swap. Then home and I start to cook, but not today. Tea was ready, so we sat down in the sitting room to listen to stories, (first in Spanish, then in English) and knit. I worked on Tim's (son in law) hat, Sofia on her dolly that she's knitting and Cristina cast on 5 stitches and was going to do something very long.
Then Daddy arrived early (yay, yay!) and there was a bit of time for all of us to continue knitting. Yes even Martin, he's knitting an 8 ply blanket for the girls' dollies. My happiness is complete. I hope to be able to post a picture of the completed blanket before the end of the year.
What a beautiful picture you have just described. And how good do you feel when tea is cooked early... I feel like my heart is neatly tucked into place - maybe because it is not surging wildly with adrenalin at 5pm with the sudden thought of mouths to feed! I love the whole family sitting together knitting too. xxooxx
