Fabulous Fridays

Written by Susan on 27 April 2010

This week Friday was Sunday. We were busy on Sunday leading the service along with The Eternal Flame and then Martin was doing the PA for Gospel Choir, so we decided that we would make Friday our day of rest this week.

A lazy morning was in order to begin with, late start and a cooked breakfast, yummy. Then, unfortunately, I had to pop into work to get some past papers photocopied – something that definitely wouldn’t be allowed on a proper Sunday – but we were going past the office so it seemed to make sense.

The afternoon was filled with playing at the wonderful new park at Puckpool. Finally a park on the Island that is suitable for a really wide age range. We met up with some lovely zonies.

The complicated spider thing (although as Andrea pointed out it does only have 6 legs not has some musical electronic game. Lara and I spent ages trying unsuccessfully to figure it out and decided that we must just be too old to do it. We were very pleased that rebekah and Anna couldn’t figure it out either! And don’t be deceived by the speed Ruth seems to be doing on the swing thing, a couple of minutes earlier she had been almost parallel to the ground.

We headed home via the LZ resources where we managed to acquire a number of very interesting chemicals – screaming jelly babies later this week

Next activity was for the kids to do some baking while I sat in the garden with a book and a cuppa.

Then there was lots of gardening to be done:

Jonathan wanted to do an experiment with an old drinks carton, he wondered if we screwed the lid on it and he jumped on it if it would go bang. it didn’t but it did hiss loudly.

By this time the moon that we had been able to see all afternoon was very visible. I pointed out you could see the dark shadows on the moon better with sunglasses on so Jonathan had a go.
