where did weeks 2 and 3 go?

Well, we went to Glasgow (thanks for babysitting, Sharon!).
Mae started Jumpin Joey's, a kids gym class (she is doing well, and attached to the centre is a cafe where I can sit for 45 minutes, chilling out each week, which I am looking forward to)
Mom went to Threave Gardens with Mae and Lillian, which apparently is lovely, haven't been there myself before but I will add a link.
Mom and Mae spent lots of time together, painting faces, picnicking in the rain in the park.
We took Mom to Samye Ling, the Tibetan Monastery. Mom is now a fully paid up Buddhist. That day we went to an artists house on the site, as it was Spring Fling, an open weekend- they had Yaks in their back garden. Like camp cows, but a bit smellier.
I had an event at work, the Make do and Mend Day, recalling WWII, which was a success.
Mom and I went to the pub, which we shall be doing again before she goes. This time, no car, but a drunken walk home.

Stuff like that.

Week 4 Preview- We'll be in Edinburgh this weekend and until Tuesday. We need to go to Carlisle, we also need to do Hadrians Wall and Drumlanrig Castle.
I am definetly going to need a holiday after this...! We've had a great time, though, and Mae and her Nonnie have really clicked again, except for sharing the corn holders. That's been a slight issue. But how do you teach a senior to share?

the "senior's"? responsibility was ever only to teach their children to share. Surely WE don't have to share! Glad to see you are having a great time.

argumentative as well. You should all be on Ritalin!!!

Jeez, you control freak mother, forcing everyone to shut up and share.
Well, thanks for the updates. Hope you're having fun in Edinburgh.
