Day 10:
Day 10 was a Tuesday (although who can really tell at this point), which in the real world means it's the church toddler group.  We were missing our friends so arranged a Zoom meeting.  We had 6 families totalling 9 kids (not including C who slept through the whole thing).  It went pretty well, the kids enjoyed the singing and it was nice to see people, although any actual catchup is impossible with that many cameras/kids.
 
The rest of the day was just more of the same, we played outdoors, watched movies, did puzzles and just played together.

T escaped to the supermarket again, this time with an actual list and strict instructions about not buying random crap.  He did pretty well and has slightly redeemed himself from Sunday's overspend.

In the afternoon M and I made an apple crumble with the leftover apples from the fondu, M was very proud of herself and excited about it although not actually very keen when it came to eating it.  I don't have any pictures from the making or the eating but here she is looking very proud of herself with the finished product.






Day 11:
This morning we did another Facebook live music class, this time involved improvising with skipping rope handles as tap sticks and upside down buckets as drums.
 

 
We have also watched A LOT of the Tangled TV show, which turns out to be surprisingly dark and kind of scary for a kids show.

At this point yesterday I stopped because it was C's naptime and then apparently I forgot to come back to it.  Whilst C was napping M and I did some painting, specifically sunshines to replace the rainbows in the front window.

And that was about it for day 11.

23-24th June This week the temperature has shot right up and so we've had to be quite careful about how/where we cached.  So Tuesday we went and explored an old airbase which has been abandoned since the war and is now just some ruins in the woods.  It's a cool location that we never would have known about without geocaching and had the advantage of being heavily wooded and therefore not too hot.  The original route (placed 10 years ago) had 12 caches and there are 9 still active but of those about half haven't been found in over a year and are probably missing so we weren't expecting much.  We found 2 fairly easily and tried a third which has been found recently-ish but had no luck.  Total: 2. Running total: 77 Wednesday was supposed to be even hotter so we made sure to go out first thing before it got too hot.  C had outgrown her sandals and so I found some bigger ones on Facebook marketplace and used the excuse to go to a town we don't go to much....

26-28th June: The thrilling conclusion Friday it was 27 degrees so we were looking for a series of drivebys that we could grab without having to walk in the heat.  T spotted a route that looked promising but when we got there it turned out to be a fenced off, no access road.  The first one of the set was right on the road front though so I jumped out to go get it but no luck.  We decided to just drive home a weird wibbly way via as many caches as we could be bothered/find.  The first couple we tried were also no go's but we eventually managed to find 7.  Each time just jumping out the car into the heat for as little time as possible before retreating back into the air-con.  Total: 7.  Running total: 90 Saturday we went to the zoo with my mum and dad to see them for the first time since lockdown.  On the way there we pulled over and grabbed 2 cache and dashes, both of which we had tried before and not found.  Turning a blue face yellow is ...

17th-20th June: Best Day Ever We weren't particularly planning to go out on Tuesday partly because we've already done loads of caches on that day on the 365 grid and partly because it was raining but we weren't going to manage any the next few days and so we used a trip to the butchers to grab a couple of drivebys.  Total 2: Running total: 56 The next day we didn't manage to go out at all but T had to go to work (I know right - the excitement) and so he grabbed one on his way home to fill in that day on the 365 grid. Running total: 57 M found a cache all by herself   We didn't get any on the 19th but the 20th (Saturday) proved to be our best day ever.  I've been eyeing up a route of 15 caches around a village and out through the fields but I didn't think we'd manage it in a single day with a 3 year old in tow.  But we did it, we totally did it and I am still very excited.  We left bright and early in the morning, parrked at the church, grabb...
