Today

Today we went to lunch at The Plough at Finstock to say goodbye to Tomasz who was going to move back to uni.

Today I did my knitting at work during lunch break.

Today I watched 2 episodes of Bakeoff while knitting a jumper for Harriet.

Today Harriet made me sing Baa Baa Black Sheep countless times and Alexa had to play it on a loop on our Echo Dot. 

Today I took Harriet to the toddler group and then went to pick up Owen after school. This was my first non-working day since Owen started school.

Today we went to Witney to watch The Incredibles 2 at the cinema, and Harriet especially liked the superhero baby. Hope she won't use that as a role model. In the evening, I started knitting a jumper for Harriet.

Today we met up with Alice and Simon for lunch. Harriet kept calling them 'mummy' and 'daddy' and Owen called Simon 'Grandpa'! 

Today we close shop early at work to go punting in Oxford, and Peter and the children came too! 

Today I went to work bright and early, and even got the best parking spot, but forgot to bring my laptop! So had to go home and work from home. In the afternoon we installed the new car seat for Owen.

Today Owen started school! He seemed happy and no tears.

Today I took Owen to Witney to get a hair cut before he starts school tomorrow!

Today Daisy dropped by for a quick lunch with us. Afterwards I took Owen to the library and watched him play with his friends.

Today we was sunny and warm again, and we took the children to Cutteslowe Park. The miniature railway was amazing! Owen and I rode on it 4 times. He also played at the waterpark. We all had a great time. A fitting end to the summer holidays before school starts for Owen next week!

Today we went to our favourite bookshop in Chipping Norton. Harriet pooped twice while we were in the bookshop. And I ate 2 packets of crisps in the evening. Not related.

Today I did more calligraphy in the evening.

Today I wasn't late for work and even parked at a different spot. Work wasn't very exciting. In the evening we watched 2 episodes of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. Harriet smelled like a puppy today, so cute. I hope she's as tired as me and won't wake me up in the night.

Today I was super tired at work again, thanks to Harriet. The children had a lot of fun going to the library in the afternoon with Peter after half day in childcare. In the evening I did some drawing and didn't get to watch TV.

Today I drove to the park and ride in Oxford for the first time and took Owen to Waterstones, just him and me. We had a lovely time hanging out for hours at the bookshop, just like I used to. I'm glad he's a bookworm like us. In the evening, I drew a sketch of Harriet. She's so cute.

Today I took Owen to Darcy Bear soft play centre at Carterton, my first time driving with a Sat Nav, and I got very lost both on the way there and back. Harriet can say the word, Weetabix!

Today we stayed home as it was rainy and had the heating on for the first time since spring. We even had hot chocolate by the fire.
