We all hit the ground running and are nicely back into routine now. The girls have been doing their exams at uni and things are ticking along nicely for me and Pierre. I still haven't found time to put the Christmas tree away yet but hopefully I'll find half an hour before the end of the weekend. We have our "galette des rois" after school on Monday when we all eat flaky pastry tarts and wish each other happy new year so I don't feel too late just yet ! Pierre is having a big tidy-up around the house because he wants to invite his girlfriend over - wonders will never cease and there are certainly no complaints from me ! This coming week should be fairly cool as I have a couple of hours invigilating exams for the oldest kids instead of doing lessons, the youngest ones have an intervention about bullying from the police so nothing to do there and I've been asked to go along on a trip to the cinema which gets me off a couple more hours too. So far so good in 2024 ... long may it last ! Here's what we're eating this week.
Monday
lunch- chicken burgers, rice and ratatouille
Tuesday
lunch- chilli con carne with rice
dinner- baked potatoes with leftover chilli
Wednesday
lunch- fricadelles (sausages) with hash browns and baked beans
dinner- spicy pork with couscous and tomato/chickpea sauce
Thursday

Saturday

We are back into a routine now too and it feels so good. Good luck to the girls with their exams.
