🏠 Week 139

The boys (and their mum) are back at school so the house is quiet again during the week. Even though I work from an office at the end of our garden I like popping in to the house to get a coffee and see them all.
I spent lots of time with youngest son, C, this week. He ably assisted me in assembling new surround speaker stands, I popped in to school to watch his assembly (space and flying themed), and then we spent Saturday morning together at his first football tournament.
He had his first proper matches, playing against children with clearly much more experience from bigger towns. It was brutal. 0-26 was the aggregate score across the four matches. I kept his spirits up with a burger and bribes of snacks but after the final match he was in tears. Back home he was much happier, spending a quiet afternoon watching Bluey on his iPad.
The home furnishing changes continue: we swapped the sofa from my office with the armchair in our kitchen to give us more seating. And after a Sunday trip to John Lewis to try out kitchen/dining chairs we ordered six new chairs, arriving next week. Meanwhile the boys’ toys have been relocated from the living room to their bedrooms. Much better.
