DPP - Days Seven, Eight and Nine!

Sickness has dominated this past week and I think Pip is slowly on the mend. We remembered to take pictures but did not have the time or the energy to upload, so here they are in order:

 

 This installment was meant for Ginny's yarn along, ah well.  One slouchy beret finished,but to coin a Pip phrase, "I don't yike it!"  It's a wonderful pattern and the wool is just gorgeous, but this hat is not me, so " a frogging we will go..."

Duplo building with Pip... a rare twenty minutes when she felt well enough to "do" something.

Self directed learning.

Working drawbridge.

This Lego design was inspired by the reading of our literature choice for this week: "The Squire and the Scroll - A Tale Of The Reward Of A Pure Heart" by Jennie Bishop. After choosing our narration and accompanied drawing,this piece of three dimensional art was the result.

Today Benedict, Pip and Dad completed a geography survey for our immediate locality and after then running some errands they stopped at one of their favourite drinking venues to partake of some well deserved refreshment.

I on the other hand enjoyed two hours of peace and quiet!  I made spiced braised red cabbage to accompany our cottage pie bake for lunch, tidied around and spent an hour by the fire knitting.  Lovely!
