  • Exercises were completed this morning (day 11) but then I took the mini peelers straight off on a shopping trip to search for costumes and ideas and things for book week. Also I needed to buy face washers/flannels (where do they all go?!). Also tbh it was to just get out of the house and away from Mr Peeler, who has had his meds changed and is playing the role of curmudgeon with dedication. On a serious note, it's interfering with his sleep so taking the kids and I out of the house so he can get some daytime shuteye is probably best for all of us. Somewhere in there I fitted in a couple of loads of washing and some dinner and now I'm sitting here looking at the clock a bit miffed that the weekend is basically over.

    • So what’s the plan for book week this year?

      • There are a few options. Most likely for the Miniest Peeler is some kind of mad hatter/Willy Wonka character (possibly a confused mashup of the two) especially as we already have a top hat and purple silk waistcoat. For the Elder Minipeeler we now have in our possession a big Garfield plushy, (purchased with pocket money) so they will go as Jon Arbuckle which would enable relatively normal clothes to be worn and the plushy to go to school as the accessory. One was going to go as Jesus but decided against it because it might cause offence. Costumes were thin on the ground this year, with heaps available for very little children who want to be princesses or superheroes and very little else.
