You improvise of course!
And our kids are fairly good at that:
Brylee and Griffin have never played before, but Steve is doing a good job of teaching them... and they seem to be enjoying it.
But...I might just get them a 'proper' chess set.. that would be nice eh? Maybe I will even try to learn how to play myself!
Another way to spend time with the kids in a fun way.
TODAY: taking Griffin to his Speld lesson. I plan on reading magazines while I wait for him today...I got a whole bunch of mags from the Hospice shop yesterday... so I've got plenty to occupy me.
I WOULD go for a walk, but there's a few dogs out there that scare the hell outta me!
ONWARD...
THE SPA: OMG... it was delighful last night! Not too cold, not too hot, just perfect. Stew and I love it. WE had a lovely evening.... from start to 'finish' ... *smiles*
It's pissing down with rain today and freaking cold! I don't mind though as I'm sure the weather has a lot to do with my lack of hot flushes during the day! Awesome eh?
Steve and I had a really good look around Pukekohe this morning for a Chess Set to no avail. BUT, we did find an AMAZING shop that I just have to go back to on Saturday to show Stew! There is a little 'something' on HOLD waiting for me to show Stew! lol
I am now trying to upload a video of Emily, taken today as they are visiting again until Saturday. No luck with the video, I think it's too big for the upload. Oh well... will work on it.
JAXX: I realise I could buy a chess set from the Big Red Shed but yes, I do want a really nice one. Not necessarily EXPENSIVE, just nice.
I am quite fussy about some things... and as the Chess Set is going to be out in the lounge all the time, I want it to look nice.
EMILY AND AMANDA'S first spa :
Everyone had a lovely time ... Emily screamed holy blue murder when she was passed out to me for dressing! I do believe she wanted to stay in longer... *smiles*
Looking forward to 6.30 when Stew gets home as we are going out, just the two of us. Having dinner at Botany Town centre, and might catch a movie too. Will be nice.
End of Day: well Stew and I did some kid free shopping but did not buy the chess set Steve and I saw and liked as it was damaged. Sad. Waiting for them to get a new one in. We bought the kids some really lovely long, warm dressing gowns and underwear from Stew, then went to a really lovely Chinese Restaurant in Botany for dinner. Oh Yum! Stopped eating before I felt full, which I was happy about.
Going to have a spa soon then head off to bed.
nite nite.
