We all went shopping on the weekend, even Keir. He did suggest that Daddy stay at home so that he could stay with him. Unfortunately for Keir, Daddy did not intend to stay at home! We looked at some furniture - desks for the kids' rooms, chests of drawers for our room. We bought the kids' desks and they should be delivered today or tomorrow. The following day someone will come to assemble them. IKEA should take this up!
We also bought a new toaster and iron. Our old toaster was a little on the temperamental side, a browning setting of 2 would give you either no brown at all on 60% of the bread, or would burn the toast enough to fill the whole kitchen with smoke. You had to stand over the toaster and watch it like a hawk, you couldn't even make tea at the same time, because the moment you chose to lift the teabag could be the precise moment that the toast went from not brown to charred. The new toaster is lovely. It toasts, the whole slice, the same colour. I bought the iron so I could press my sewing, obviously I'm not going to iron with it. I have to try and find an ironing board so I can use the iron. Ironing boards were out of stock.
Thankfully no more rain so the roads are just potholey. We're back to driving on the correct side again!

Obviously you aren't going to iron CLOTHES with the iron! I would say, that's what the maid is for, but I happen to know just how much clothing ironing you did before...
Took the kids to the transport museum today (only been how many years since we tried?) - very nice. and it didn't even rain on us (especially not inside the museum.)
