Day 28 A quiet day

After Lachie’s restless night and our long hike, I think we all woke up wishing there were more sleep hours to go. I woke up with a slightly sore throat, which got worse as the day wore on. Sarah had a slightly sore throat too. After breakfast we drove Tim to work, then we headed to the Metro supermarket to replenish supplies. Home to put them away and then we packed up and headed up to the park.

Lachie spent a few hours up there alternating between the swings, playing with his truck and the water spouts/ water play/ splash pad for kids. It was a lovely warm day with a slight breeze blowing in the park.

When it was time to come home, we went via the deli for Sarah and the small supermarket for me. Lachie was fast asleep in the pram. This time I found five different kinds of LF cheese! This place is definitely a wonderful place for the GF and LF.
Home for lunch on the deck. Sarah read after lunch and I hand stitched for a while, till she went to have a nap and someone close by was cutting metal. The noise was ear shattering and definitely not conducive to relaxing on the deck.  Time to go inside and type up the news so far and have a very short cat nap.
When Lachie woke up, I did some washing. I only had one pair of shorts with me and Quebec is having an unusually warm/ hot summer. Because of yesterday’s hike, they needed a wash, but I had to wear them to the park or be very hot. While Sarah took Lachie to pick up Tim, I prepared the dinner, where I had a slight issue with the oven. Fahrenheit or Celsius?  When the temperature was met very quickly I thought it might be the former, but so just sued a lower temp rather than frazzle the shepherd’s pie. When Sarah returned I turned the temperature up. It cooked well. Then I scrounged through my bag to find the sore throat remedies, finding my missing hair brush in the process.

Sarah, Tim and Lachie returned and I worked on my computer until it was dinner time. Delicious dinner, dishes, folded the washing and sat to reply to some emails. Lachie went down and Tim went to wash the car.
