Becoming Domestic

Goodness me it’s been nearly a fortnight since I last wrote. Time flies when you’re suffering from a mysterious virus which makes you sleep all the time at the same time as four year old twins struggle through chicken pox!

I’ve been looking at the photos I took BEFORE I drenched my beloved camera with sparkling water and realise that I’ve got a few bits and pieces to post  (before looking through the pics I thought I can’t write ‘Got up, unloaded dishwasher, gave small people breakfast, had cup of tea, got dressed, opened post, put washing machine on….’ and thought perhaps my days of blogging my passage towards becoming fully domestic had perhaps finally ended).

Anyway, the photo which caught my eye was the one below which reminded me to share the new found knowledge that a teeny weeny wet suit on a teeny weeny body can bring joy for the whole family as nobody is left having to deal with blue, shivering, whimpering children after 10 minutes of splashy play at the beach on a windy day instead everyone can have lots of fun for hours in the waves (while Mummy eats most of the picnic snacks and reads) and stay nicely warm.

We rented these suits for the day for £2.50 which seemed to be a bargain. I’m now looking on eBay for similar long sleeved wetsuits (rather than shorties) so the kids can continue to enjoy traditional British seaside for the rest of the summer AND not get sunburnt in them either. I won’t be buying new because (a) I tend not to anyway (b) kids grow fast and at least one of them will be too small next year).
