Weeza and co came over for the day. Lovely Phil, my son-in-law, cut up logs with his chainsaw and lots have now been chopped and stacked in the porch.
Going back a day, Wince managed to mend the switch on our chainsaw, which is excellent. He’s so kind.
Younger granddaughter Zerlina is still growing weedily – she’s not yet eight and a half and she’s now four feet, nine and a half inches tall. Taller than her great-grandmother, she now has Auntie Dora in her sights. i will come next.
Her little brother Gus is also growing fast and is constantly hungry. They arrived about 10.30 and were hungry. I gave them a chocolate Club biscuit. They were still hungry. I prepared a dish each of cheese, Twiglets, carrots, cucumber and an oatcake. Later, they ate lasagne. Then ice cream. Later, more salad and charcuterie. Then the chocolate cake I hastily made and they decorated. They took snacks back to eat before bed.
I was like Zerlina, tall for my age and very slim but with a huge appetite, when we visited the relatives my mother would be asked how much sister and I ate, the reply was to dish me up the same quantity of food as my father.
Now the reverse is true, my appetite has shrunk, I struggle with large portions, my weight is the heaviest it has ever been as I’m not out and about as much especially in the cold weather.
Wait until they are teenagers! Almost all my grandchildren have morphed from being “children” to “adults” when I am doing my meal planning.
