Sunday 24 January – Day 24
Woke up and was expecting it to snow in the morning as forecast but nothing. It finally arrived in the afternoon and it settled enough to go out and play in. We made some snowmen and it was nice to see families and couples out on the street having fun.
Monday 25 January – Day 25
The snow didn’t melt and we still had some left over. It is the first year I really appreciated it and enjoyed it as I didn’t have to drive in it. The kids were excited in Bee’s online classes and the teachers let them chat about it and talk about what they did in the snow and encouraged them to send pictures of the snowmen they made. The eldest went out to try to make another snowman but said the snow was too crumbly.
Tuesday 26 January – Day 26
Another uneventful day. Girls did their online classes and then we just chilled in the evening. Rosie often lies on the stairs and refuses to move so we have to jump over her!
Wednesday 27 January – Day 27
I had gone through Bee’s paint box earlier in the week and had realised that she was running low on some paints and some had dried up. She was going to need some for a project on Friday so had ordered some. They arrived today and she was pleased.
Thursday 28 January – Day 28
A local lady was offering some baby succulents for free and when I messaged her she had some left. She gave us 4 Aloe Vera plants. I had ordered some compost and pots which arrived today…I had expected the pots to be bigger but they will do for now. Repotted the plants and now hopefully we don’t kill them.
Friday 29 January – Day 29
Bee’s school decided not to hold any online classes as they wanted the kids to have a day off from screens. So they set a project to make an animal and the best 2 would win Amazon vouchers. I didn’t have the patience to make a model as such so instead printed out some fish and Bee enjoyed decorating them. I had to go have another blood test and she failed from the arm even though she was convinced she could feel a big vein….in the end she took it from my hand. I also managed to get a book review live: A Child’s Gift – Duas, Ahadeeth, Surahs.
Saturday 30 January – Day 30
Not much happening today. Snow was forecast again but it didn’t happen. Tidied the house, cooked and then we binge watched Masterchef Junior before watching the evening TV.
What a fab snowman! You seemed to have a lot of snow. We didn’t get any. Hmmf. It sounds like you had a lot of fun!
What pretty plants.
Good on Bee’s school for having a screen free day. We had one during the week too. It was needed.

Oh no…hope you manage to get some before winter is truly over!
I love your snowman and its unicorn hat and mask. That is a really inconvenient place for the cat to sleep LOL
It was..and she just didn’t care!
The plants do look smart in their pots. You’ll probably find they outgrow them quite quickly (it happened to me). Good to have fun in the snow.

Hoepfully they do grow and we don’t end up killing them!
Love the masked snowman. We had similar snow – and I feel the same. In lockdown it’s great, normally I’m not such a fan. The fish artwork looks great.
Yes definitely more fun when don’t have to go anywhere
I like the look of those paints – look like sensible sizes rather than the huge bottles we have here. The snow was a welcome break for everyone wasn’t it #365
Yes thats why I got them…the size. She doesn’t often paint these days so didn’t want huge bottles again
It was lovely to have some snow and it’s definitely much more fun when you don’t have to go anywhere in it! Love the snowman with the face mask and the decorated fish look good. #project365
Yes it was nice and made the kids happy!
Yay for snow. Its missed us so far disappointingly. Those new paints look great. I went through ours the other day, many had gone all lumpy. I like the fish she did a great job. Will have to remember junior Masterchef as my eldest is really into cooking and so this would be great for him to watch.

Definitely worth a watch!
I love the fish artwork. I’m very jealous of the snow as we haven’t had any this year yet. Our cats normally sit in places like that. I think they are plotting to kill me lol #365

I do wonder if my cat is plotting to kill me lol!
Love the fish craft activity, great idea on how to do it. Those paints look really bright and will be fun to use. I’ve seen a lot of snowmen wearing masks online
The paints do seem pretty good
The snowman looks lovely. I would be pleased with those paints too hah they are so pretty. Rosie is having the life isn’t it / hehe
The aloe vera and the plant look so good. I too just started planting and I really hope I don kill off my plants!

Hopefully your plants will be ok!
That’s a lovely snowman and glad the school let them all chat about the snow, probably cheered everyone up. Great paints, nice selection of colours. haha that’s hilarious that Rosie won’t budge and you have to jump over her. Just don’t lose your balance! The fish look fab, sterling effort decorating them.
