But there has always been one ballet lesson a week for O, and this term because there is an exam coming up, there are two ballet lessons each week. On top of that C has decided he wants to do a term of sailing lessons which his school are offering one day a week. I guess they're getting older and have got more energy for other things.
.
Over Easter I thought about this coming term, and the three days of running around after school that I was going to have to do each week - and I was really quite gloomy about it. Too much busyness is tiring and stressful.
.
But now all this activity is underway I realise that it's not stressful at all. It is, in fact, valuable extra knitting time. How did I not realise this?
.
And sitting in the evening sunshine watching C and his friends sail across the lake, while I finish some knitting isn't stressful or busy at all. It's positively idyllic actually.
.
I finally finished O's legwarmers yesterday, at the lake, and today at ballet I made big progress on a pair of socks I am making for C. By the end of term I may even finish this beautiful, but oh-so-slow, moss stitch face cloth I am knitting.
The knitting and view do look blissful. And with such gorgeous legwarmers O will be asking to do ballet three days a week!

I have truly messed up everyone's activities this term and am therefore running hither and thither like a woman possessed. Unfortunately, I cannot knit and drive, or perhaps I'd be enjoying it a bit more!
ReplyDeleteOur activities never go like this. They mainly involve trying to convince a damp and tetchy child to read or colour while her sister is in the pool.
ReplyDeleteMind you, staying at home is just an exercise in refereeing fights.
I volunteer for these activities now - swimming on Mondays isn't a boring 2 hours in the recreation centre cafe, it is very precious knitting time!
