Brownies...
Got into the hall & it was rather cold. Thought perhaps the heating hadn't come on yet. Taught Brownies Through The Woods to the Leprechaun Sixer & Seconder & they taught it to the rest & then ran it while the adults Owled about. I pretended to know what I am talking about to a few parents & then moved the game to being the Post Office game...
I then realised the heating was a bit dead, so I went to speak to the priest & see if he could help with this one. Sadly he was in some quiet corner of his house so I was waiting outside for rather a long (cold) time. Went back armed with instructions. Leapt onto the side to play with high-up things. Was puzzled by ongoing cold. Decided poking at the boiler was the answer. Noticed the pilot light had gone out. Re-fired the boiler. Heating very slowly started up...
So yes, the Brownies were doing lots of Good Turn things under the guidance of Cinnamon Owl, and I focused on not freezing to death. This involved wearing Pim's Innovate hoodie, which is splendidly giant-huge. Hee. Sadly I went to the door in it a couple of times (confused Explorer Scouts), but never mind. I would like to think I can maintain an air of auhority even when I am being Little Blue Guiding Hood. Tumtitum.
Gave out stickers and badges and certificates at home time. Much to the excitement of the Brownies, especially my smallest ones...
Tylluan decided to stay at mine as she is now coming to the SCGG AGM tomorrow, so after Brownies we went and got tea from the chip-shop & ate it wandering along to Sainsbury's. In Sainsbury's we were foiled on a couple of fronts, but got lunch for tomorrow (I have a smoothie wearing a woolly hat, it is so cool) and some other bits. Had hip&knee woe that landed me on the floor while looking at hair products, but these things happen. And now Kitty has PINK stuff for her hair. Which is jolly exciting, really...
Came home & started defrosting. Got horrible cramp in feet. Had woe. But am now in my Diddlina jammies and have a hot water bottle, so the world is not such a bad place after all really. Need to make up the bed for Kitty & check travel for tomorrow & then it will be pretty much almost nearly sleep time I rather think...
