I have been trying to remember what we have done, and to be totally honest, I cannot remember.

Last Saturday we decorated a cardboard box, with the packaging from two marble runs we aquired the previous week, so that they could both fit in the one suitably marked box.

Sunday -

Monday – We had a lovely chill out day, went and got rid of some stuff to a charity shop and played in the river in bedgellert, after buying a couple of ice creams.. We also bumped into some other home edd friends which was LOVELY.

Tuesday – We spent a lot of time on the bed reading stories, and made some Dora badges.

Wednesday, we took a PILE of stuff to home edd for the swaps table and the RSPB raising money table,, and had a massive jumble sale.. it was great fun.

Thursday – Can anyone remeber what we did yesterday, other than take a load of left over stuff to the charity shop, get some fuel in Portmadog, and go to lidl.. it was one of those days i think…

Friday .. today, we went Ice Skating with some of the lovely home edd friends, and Asha has had a wonderful time, and really enjoyed herself.. It was a lovely quiet afternoon with only us lot on the ice, and all the kids seemed to be in a gentle happy frame of mind, it was LOVELY.. On coming home tonight, Asha said it had been one of the best days of her life.. !  she REALLY did enjoy herself!

We started off playing Scrabble, then went on to the rather funny Poppas Pizza Topping, we enjoyed a game of Snakes and Ladders, and ended up playing connect four and dominoes.

I only got a picture of Asha doing Scrabble, as she has asked me not to take photos of her for a while.. Fair enough!

The BOUNCING…

And the only picture we took of the animals!

Asha and I enjoyed the company of his mum, and spent some time browsing the shops and playing a game.

After lunch, and after the css and html had been put to bed, Asha, Steve and I headed once more over to Dinas, to enjoy the later afternoon sun, and the tranquility of an empty beach once more..

Some more photographs!

We found another dead crab,  which had lost its shell, so Asha wanted us to dig it a grave and bury it.. So we did..

She then enjoyed a time paddling with Daddy, and splashing about in the COLD water.

We went on Thursday with some friends, we didnt try and see all the way around, as it is fairly local to us, and Asha (and I ) was very tired by now.

The Slate Industry

A log saw,

and the saw blades!the saw blades are about 1.5 meters long!

The length of these was about 1.5 meters long!

A copy of the certificate of the Miners and Quarries Act, 1954

There is a series of terraced houses at the national museum, Asha particully liked the babies crib in this house.. :d

however Asha was busy colouring in a picture of the houses,, much more interesting than her ice cream or orange juice!!!

Asha found this quite an interesting challenge on Saturday, but i think she has done a fair attempt, also please note, she as always only had the primary colours and white to work with ;)
