Free Weekend.

Delightfully, my client's boss had given her today off, so no C.  Rye and me took advantage by sleeping in till nearly 11am!  Bliss.

Then we enjoyed a leisurely wake up and dressing, Rye asked to wear his new trousers from Su Su Mamas - I've picked him up 3 pairs as they were only a £5 each and I do so love the colourful stripy trousers:
 These are the red ones, he also 2 pairs of different purple ones, and I picked up a shirt to match, although its rather too big at the moment.   Here we are waiting for the bus to take us into town.  I have taken on several commissions for paintings and I needed some more canvases.

On the way back we stopped at the local rec grounds to meet up with my friend and her twin boys.  Lovely to have a natter and see her and the boys again.  Rye enjoyed playing and was sad when it was time to part company. 

Once home I hung out some washing and ended up staying out in the garden with Rye for a good half hour or so, playing with the bat and ball.  Tomorrow I plan to take Rye down to the Donkey Derby at Radnor Park as we didn't make it today.  Not quite so exciting, but I do also need to give the house a good clean too.  The floors have been rather neglected because I broke my mop and bucket.  The new mop arrived last night - a microfibre self twisting mop.   LOL, had to give it a wee test run - so this evening I washed the bathroom floor.  Urgh, it was rather disgusting, smells much fresher in there now!  Rather preversely, I'm looking forward to giving the rest of the floors a good wash, and having a good general clean around too.  Ohhh, and I bought a granite slab for use in the oven... so I'll be baking some bread tomorrow too :-)

Love the trousies!! Where did you buy your mop and can the mop head be put in the machine? I think I've seen an advert for something similar but I'll be blowed if I can remember where I've put it!!

I got it from Betterware: http://www.betterware.co.uk/productdetails.aspx?pid=057085&cid=121&language=en-GB I didn't pay that price though as I bought from the old catelogue. I don't think the head comes off, as far as I can tell.. but it certainly seems to work well though. Cleaned the floors lovely.

Gorgeous trousers aren't they. I did buy Rye the 4/6yrs ones. They are a tad too big,but he loves em anyway. and with his boots are ok. I have a pair of stripey orange ones ad I've noticed they have shrunk a bit in the wash.

However, do not buy the 4/6 shirts that match the trousers - they are really big - too big. I don't mind a bit of growing room, but the shirts come down past his knees and about 4 inches too long in the arms.
