Popped to Tesco for brekkie and to get the food in for Monday. Needed more laminator pouches to print some montessori goodies.
Went to Staunton today (we surely must have used our annual allowance of visits by now - even though we all have season passes 
) Because of the looming half-term, there were a few activities arranged but TBO I begrudge paying £2 for face-painting which I can do at home and the crafts cost more to do there than if I had bought the craft pack at Tesco -nevermind. 
We had a lovely time today - as we always do there. Natalie got to feed one of the orphaned lambs (she is still busting to hold one!) and Natalie & Hermionie got to stroke a very young orphaned kid (a goat who apparantly thought he was a sheep?). Natalie got talking to the staff & volunteers there (like she always does!) about the lambs and make a joke about her Daddy wanting to ‘eat Barry’ (Barry is our favourite animal at Staunton - the cockerel!) - the man there (who I though was a vet but isn’t?) said that ‘Barry’s not too bright - the grass that Barry’s on has more brains than Barry’ 
Poor Barry - we love him anyway 
- we found out he’s a Brahma Chicken. We saw all the usual culprits there - Antonio the Alpaca Cria, Tony the Goat, 3 peacocks all showing off at the same time, an escapee turkey (Charles) and we even managed to shock-horror miss out the park today without too much whinging! Had a box I stuffed full of any food I could find packed lunch and got to look around the vegetables plots there - really wish we could get that allotment! (or least get my b**t in gear and dedicate a space in the garden but then that would mean moving the trermampoline which would mean moving the kids swings and tree-house which are bolted to the floor blah blah blah blah - arrggh!)
Dropped in at Wyevale to have a look around and bagged a couple of bargains - a better-growing-than-ours Strawberry Plant, a half-knackered but half-priced Lavender (I want lots of lavender in my garden!!!!), the man at Wyevale said I should prune it back and it’d be OK), an Oregano plant and a Sage plant. We then popped next door to see the fishes, lots of Nemos and Dory’s, box, puffer and cow fish and a few Siamese Fighting Fish that years ago when we had our tanks, Alex and I managed to breed (the fish - not us ) - we had our little baby fighter! (his Daddy wasn’t too bright - he kept dropping the eggs and losing them so Little Baby Fighter was siblingless!) It was fascinating watching the ‘act’ - eeeerrrr! - fishie-porn 
….and Doctor Who - 5/5, can’t wait till next weeks!
…and on a historical note, our Chichester shop closed 1 year ago today!!!
