Well hello there! It’s Monday morning so it must mean time for our Chai And A Chat catch up!

- If we were sipping chai together, I’d tell you that Monday and Tuesday were total washouts weatherwise, and other! It was windy and rainy, and even haily at some times! I was glad to be inside in the warmth, to be honest…
- If we were sipping chai together I’d tell you that the reason for my being at home was because Lil Princess was still not well, neither was I and Lil Man had the sore throat from h*ll accompanied by some suitable hot temperatures… it ended up being tonsillitis, and he was prescribed antibiotics.
- If we were sipping chai together, I’d tell you that the braces have not been successful so far, because of his sore throat. I couldn’t expect him to put up with the pain of those things whilst he could barely eat or talk! Hopefully, we can try again next week.
- If we were sipping chai together, I’d say, rather sadly, that I wasn’t able to attend the moderation, part one, because of the sickness etc. But never fear, there is part two next week, which I should be able to attend!
- If we were sipping chai together, I’d let you know that Lil Man’s first district cricket trial was very promising. I now think I know what it means to bowl a left Chinaman, but I still can’t be sure…
- If we were sipping chai together, I’d also sadly tell you we heard of the passing of two lovely family members this week… Death is never a good thing, but when it ends someone’s suffering, I guess you see there is a silver lining…
- If we were sipping chai together, I’d happily say that we managed to get out and have our anniversary dinner out too, though that was not without its own drama, trying to instil the importance of family time, and NO PHONES at the table! Yes, Lil Princess, I’m talking about you!
- If we were sipping chai together, I would also be extremely pleased to tell you I have started the edit and read through finally! Four chapters done so far!!! I may just finish this stage soon!

- If we were sipping that chai together, and possibly reaching for cake or cookies I’d tell you that I am really looking forward to my meal out with my Tootie Frootie mummies on Friday!
- If we were sipping that chai together, and possibly reaching for cake or cookies I’d tell you Lil Man has another trial for his District Cricket possible selection…
- If we were sipping that chai together, and possibly reaching for cake or cookies I’d say I hope these colds that are threatening to hit decide to disappear!
Have a great week everyone! Let me know what you’ve been up to!

Sounds like a busy week for you. Hope everyone is feeling better soon. I booked two school visits for when I’m in Canada next month so feel good about that. I love reading my books to the children and answering their questions. Have a super week ahead. I enjoyed my chai with you.

Aw no, sounds like a bug is going around… I hope you’re all feeling better soon and that the antibiotics work their magic for the little guy. I’m glad you made it out for the anniversary dinner, that’s a success even if the no-phones-at-the-table was hard to enforce! xx

I was teaching on Tuesday afternoon and I got a weather warning for hevvy snow. I was just a tiny bit excited, like a little kid, whilst still trying to do the “I’m a professional and it’s only snow” thing!
Sorry to hear you’ve been unwell and hope you are all better now.
Where ddid you go for your meal in the end?
I made a start on my Christmas shopping this weekend, but also got a bit distracted with things I wanted from the sales. Oops…
Have a great week!
