Listen to Clare Maguire while doing my housework and sorted out my avon. Delivered some of my avon orders and popped to Thame for a stop of shopping.
I love it when you can put the washing on the line to dry, the washing smells lovely and fresh from blowing in the breeze! All i need to do now is make the bed, not a job i enjoy!
When picking Alfie and Polly from school some children were coming out eating Pancakes. I had forgotten its Shove Tuesday or Pancake Day as we know it. Oh dear we have parents evening tonight so will have to have our pancakes another day when Phil is home from work on time or at the weekend because him and Polly have got the art of cooking pancakes perfectly. Alfie enjoys his with honey and Polly just coats hers in butter!
What is Shove Tuesday or Pancake day?
In the UK, Shrove Tuesday is also known as Pancake Day (or Pancake Tuesday to some people) because it is the one day of the year when almost everyone eats a pancake.
Pancake Day ( also known as Shrove Tuesday) is the last day before the period which Christians call Lent. It is traditional on this day to eat pancakes.
Lent is a time of abstinence, of giving things up. So Shrove Tuesday is the last chance to indulge yourself, and to use up the foods that aren't allowed in Lent. Pancakes are eaten on this day because they contain fat, butter and eggs which were forbidden during Lent. I guess i should be giving something up for Lent, the good old chocolate, alcohol, crisps, cheese, but i dont think i could last until Easter Sunday which is 40 days away not including sundays. What would be the easiest thing to give up for me ??????? I will let you know how i am getting on with each of these items, best have a drink tonight with my nice cheesy pasta bake for tea with a chocolate bar for afters!
The dreaded parents evening! Polly is getting on fine very strong minded, really i would never had said that!!! ha ha only joking, she is very kind and she is Mrs Gordens little helper. She is trying very hard with her reading and learning how to sound out words and then trying to spell them out along with her very expressive drawings. Alfie is alway doing well, just needs to listen more which is the sameold story every time we go to parents evening. But his handwriting is improving and he likes to be set a challenage when it comes to his reading. He is very helpful when it comes to organisation in his classroom wish he was more like that at home! But all in all they are both progressing well. Just need to make an appointment to get Alfie's eye's tested as Miss Gleaves thinks he can not see the board from the back of the class room!
Holby City being recorded as Phil and Alfie are watching football, so i think i will get on and read my book which is taking me forever to read!
