that’s better

Calmed down to just very windy now, and able to get outside - what a difference that makes to my mood!  I have come to rely on spending time outside every day, and miss it when I can’t!

Spent a lot of today teaching my son how to make spaghetti bolognais, from scratch.. starting with the shopping list, the shopping, prep and cooking.  He is very happy and full of himself, which is great. I had began to wonder if I should encourage him to by a jar of ready made gloop… he has learning difficulties, and poor fine motor skills to boot, and was wondering if it would be better to go against my personal view on pre-made foods, in order for him to be more independent (a major part of our home education plan) , but actually, he managed fine, helped by it being his favourite dinner!

Early evening, I got outside and tromped around the fields checking for damage.. we seem to have got away with only receiving bits of next door’s roof, so not bad at all. Had a chat with the ewes, collected the eggs, and then spent a while stacking logs in one of the piggery bays, whilst himself dug over what will be the bean and pea bed.

Aching now, but feel so much better.
