Alex has been a very busy bee today :wink:. Whilst I blogged (’cos I’ve been naughty editing timestamps and blogging retrospectively
) about 7 days worth, Alex was marinating meat and battling with the weather and the gazebo - after 3 hours he had won! The kids watched a DVD fest of Toy Story (personally, I looove this film - one of disney kid’s favourites - Natalie has ‘gone off it’ now though!), Pooh’s Heffalump Movie and Nanny McPhee (another fav!). I made rainsticks with the kids - bacofoil and cling-film carboard tubes with rice and pasta stuffed in, nicely coloured with glued-on tissue paper from Xmas’s unused paper hats and lots of ribbon streamers held on with rubber bands. Had lunch, Hermionie had her sleep. Kids played lots of card games and played with Natalie’s ELC Wooden Marble Run. Alex made lots of fairy cakes for me to decorate with the kids - messy style, he also made the 3 sponges for Natalie’s Birthday cake and I bodged decorated it. We tidied up and reshuffled stuff to make room for people tomorrow, went to bed to wrap pressies, arrange a pressie hunt and not lay down until about 2:30am which was the precise time the gazebo decided it didn’t want to stay tethered down and would rather snap in half at all the weak points, collapse into a heap on the floor and leave just a corner (that was still held to the wall by string) threatening the safety of next-doors-windows!!!! Poor Alex ![]()

To interpret other times, you must understand your template.
- Most templates load the header, content & comments, sidebar and footer in that order.
- Other templates load in this order: header, sidebar, content, footer. For these cases, the time between the end of the header and the "Begin Loop" is the time to load the sidebar. The time between "End Loop" and "End Footer" is the footer only.
