The Post After The Last Post
Heh. Seems I caught a few of you this morning then 
Apart from that, today was a normal Saturday. The boys went to their swimming lesson this morning, and I experimented with different bread-making techniques (since I couldn’t just toss it all in the breadmaker anyway, I figured I might as well play). It made very good bread; now I’m thinking maybe I don’t really want a breadmaker. The food processor does the kneading just as easily, and I like baking the bread in the oven rather than the breadmaker anyway (better shape and no paddle-hole!) I don’t expect I’ll get my money back when I take the dead one back to the shop though, so if the manufacturer does send me a new breadmaker, I’m thinking I might just sell it.
Made delish beans-on-toast for lunch (everything from scratch!) and then… well, I’m not sure what I did with the next couple of hours really - the boys were on various computers, I know that, because after they started to squabble about it, I decided they’d had enough. Being a bad mummy, I suggested they could watch a movie instead - so they watched King Solomon’s Mines, and then got into another argument about what to watch next - Jack wanted Ivanhoe 
But never let it be said that my children are hot-housed: in the end, he settled for Wallace and Gromit 
There was another - well, not really a squabble, more of a discussion - about whose fault it was when the DVD got jammed in the DVD player. George said it was 99% Jack’s fault and 1% his fault; Jack said “no, it’s 99% your fault and 1% my fault!” Scratch what I said about hot-housing then 
Scratchy went off to buy groceries (I have a cook-for-the-freezer day planned tomorrow) and basketball practice - and came home barely able to walk. The basketball team members have been asking him to join the team for a while; he doesn’t want to commit to the team (too much else to do!) but does enjoy both the game and the exercise, even if it does leave him hobbling in pain. I never did understand the appeal of deliberately-inflicted self-torture - my approach is more “no pain, no pain” - but apparently some people find it appealing
