Warm.

I've been so busy today that I haven't had much time to notice the weather but I can say it has felt warm whenever I walked across the playground. We are normally outside for 10-15 mins for the afternoon playtime but today there was no stopping for us in Reception with 2 groups of visiting small children.  Still at least the day flew by. 

After school I went over the bridge to Lidl's and BJ's. I've been looking all over town for a not too expensive photo frame without any success but at BJ's they had a wide range of styles and sizes. Not only that but they also had a good selection of pre-cut mounts in different colours. My plan is frame the wedding photo that Romas had sent for Father's Day as one of Peter's birthday presents. I chose a wide wooden frame with dark red mount to match Sally's red bouquet. 

At home I started organising the things I need for tomorrow's trip to the beach. As the weather forecast is not looking too good I fished out our old beach shelter tent. It hasn't been used for many years so I took it out of the bag  to check it. Apart from being a little musty and a touch of rust on the ends of the poles it looks okay. I have washed the bag it comes in as that was decidedly grubby. The children have been told to bring their raincoats along with buckets and spades as a little bit of rain isn't going to put us off. I have also taken the precaution of buying a roll of extra strong bin bags to put the children's stuff in should it rain heavily. I do hope we don't actually get rained off.
