Baby-Sitting

Been quite overwhelmed this week! It’s all good though, may just have to stay up a bit later than normal tonight as I don’t want to have too many things do this weekend as – MY MUM AND BROTHER ARE GOING TO BE HERE! So excited for them to come. They’ll be arriving tomorrow while I’m still in codes so I think someone will be taking them for a tour around the castle and then my mum wants to meet my teachers and tutor. We’ll probably go to dinner in Llantwit Major and then they’re staying in one of the castle rooms that night. Saturday we’ll have a big shopping day in Cardiff for warm clothes for both Ben and I and stay in Cardiff that night. Sunday I’m not quite sure what time I’ll be coming back to the college but I don’t want to have too much work to do due the next day that night.

Last night I baby-sat for my house parents three kids with Anne-Sofie. Though I still can’t spell their names as they’re Norwegian spelling I’m really glad I got to know them better. We were there from 6:30-11:30, though bed time was at 8:30. We made nachos and ate strawberries with custard, if I baby-sit again the kids recommend I bring my laundry and use their machines- which is an amazing idea! Once they went to bed we were just relaxing on the sofa watching television- the first time I’ve done that since I’ve been here. Though you really don’t miss it. There are some shows that I’ll probably want to catch up on when I’m home but here there is so much going on that sitting down watching television seems extremely boring.

We have tug of war this afternoon. We just need one more point to get the house barbeque. Otherwise if PK wins they’ll get five more points and we’ll have to share the barbeque. Boo. I also have my beekeeping activity, service and open house tonight. Lots to do!
