Today I have learned...
...that there are a load of houses round the back of Eccleston I never knew existed. You see, this is what a road closure and diversion can do for you.

Today I learned....
... that there are lots of really pretty places in Kent. Really pretty! And that September can have the most beautiful days of the year - even the wind was hot. And that spending your lunch hour outside is really rewarding and relaxing. Want to try to do this at least once every week, although the winter. I need to get this garden sorted out - it will take years but I must do it.
This winter's goal: get some of that 50p manure onto the beds and start digging.
Next year: get rids of those horrid shrubs and plant something nice. I like roses, why not have roses? I do like shrubs but not these ones, esp as st John's Wort, it turns out, is poisonous.

Today I learned....
....that a thing made up from tinned lentils, some sausages and leeks, served with a packet of instant rice can be very nice.
Somehow despite going shopping and having a menu plan, I had no meals for this week. I think the things in the cupboard were subtly different from the things I thought I had, eg, did not include the ingredients I needed for the meals on the list. Never mind....

Today I learned...
...that you think you've understood the arrangement but you haven't.
we both turned up to get the baby from nursery - me having raced back from Liverpool so that S would not have to do it. He turned up because he hadn't got a text from me saying I would. I thought I would only text him if I couldn't do it.
Bah.
Also we found that the road outside nursery is closed and being dug up to repair a collapsed sewer. Yikes!

Today I learned....
...that after a really exciting family day, it's not just the baby who needs a whole 24 hours to recover. Beach, garden, chatting, pub, present and toys....we were all shattered.
Not sure what we did.... did I pot up those bulbs with the baby? I think so. It got done, anyhow, and I amazed myself by getting gardening chores done - ripping out brambles and weeds, and cutting back a load of the horrid still-not-dead tree.

Today I learned....
...that a Hungry Horse pub can be a very pleasant family experience. Contrary to all expectations (I thought it would be really horrid, the chav of pubs.) But it was great.

Today I learned....
...that you can decide to go to the zoo at 1200 and not be there until 1500 because getting and eating lunch from ASDA can take so long.
Still worth it though.
