Unexpected Free Time...

I feel like I'm in the Twilight Zone at the moment- my school will be shut tomorrow, making it three days. When school shut in February for two days, there was uproar and it was apparently the first time in thirty years we'd shut. I honestly only thought we'd be shut for two days maximum.

I'm not complaining, mind you, although it has been a bit weird. I've made headway on my Ishbel (which has taught me a lesson to read a pattern before I get stressed out) and I've watched the entire series one of Doctor Who. Ophelia has also been living inside and, if I'm honest, it's been like having a toddler who's eaten too many Smarties dashing around the house. Great fun though :)

I think Benn was a bit disappointed- he'd booked from Tues-Fri off for study leave for work exams and only got Tuesday with a quiet house. The rest of the week has resembled a slightly Benny Hill-esque procession of humans, headstrong rabbits, confused cats and scared mice..

We have to go and buy food tomorrow, as all we have in is a jar of honey, some dried pasta and a part-baked baguette. We're going to attempt it, anyway.

Oh, and officially? I've spent the last few days 'creating resources'!
