Our Week Ahead ~ Monday 6th July 2015

We have one more week until we take a weeks break... and so we're keen to get our scheduled work load completed and then take a break, rest a bit, regroup and be 100% delight led.
Our week off usually ends up being very busy with delight led stuff for Jay & Daisy :)
I'm looking forward to downing 'teaching tools' and do that too.

One key extra that seems to fall between the cracks in winter is regular exercise ... however,  having a little dog that needs regular walking forces us outdoors, and we also put our treadmill to work on the days when it's just too ghastly to go out.  The happy thought, for us, is that there is only, approx, 8 weeks until spring ☺  (my northern hemisphere readers may want to just ignore that sentence).
