Today's nap time is sitting with laptop. Definitely a good chance to be 'resting'! I am now 32 weeks pregnant and am Big and Tired. The dining room is out of bounds because of a new cupboard being built around the boiler - ready for decorating next week. It's involving drilling and banging so I am currently not washing up, cooking dinner, baking or any of those things I often (need to) fill nap time with. I am also not in the conservatory as it's kind of a 'staging area' for the work in the dining room (bits of wood and stuff piled up). It's nice being in the living room actually. It's quiet (apart from the drilling next door) and as it's south facing it's currently very warm and sun-filled.
Munchkin appears to be having a good nap in spite of his room only being separated from the spare room (the decorator is currently in there - with radio) by plasterboard. Long may it last!
Hubby is due back this evening. It would be lovely if he made it back in time to see Munchkin before bed, but it's a bit of a trek home so I am not really expecting him by then. I usually go to a pregnancy yoga class on Thursday evenings so I suspect I won't be going to that tonight. On the one hand I'd like to go if Hubby is back. On the other hand, I haven't seen him since Monday so it'd be nice to just sit down and eat together and get an early night rather than rushing off out as soon as he walks in.
In other news: We had our first purple sprouting on Sunday night! It was really tasty. It's one particular vegetable that makes having an allotment really worthwhile. The broad beans are coming up well because of the various sunny days we've had. Hubby made it down on Sunday afternoon to do some bits and pieces while Munchkin was napping and he planted shallots and garlic as well as doing some tidying up. the spring cabbages are looking a bit small and sad (ah - speaking of which I think I meant to feed them... something for the weekend?!) and so are our leeks. I think we'll end up having them as baby leeks...
