Yes, it hailed again – if u remembered, i posted about hail in March too. That one is March is no match to this one. This one had much bigger hail stones (almost as big as golf balls) & it lasted longer – 15mins. It was also very very windy – to the point where i had to closed all the shutters , fearing that the windows would be damaged. Enough fell to cover most of the ground.
Here’s a video of the hail:

Will post more next time – now have to get to doing Sunday School stuff.

Yesterday, Tobias went with me to deliver some books to a friend in our little village – we walked there – it’s not far. Tobias wanted to ride his bike – it was raining – not heavily, just little rain – so i said ok – Dressed him in all the warm, water-proof stuff & off we went. Now Tobias had not taken his afternoon nap – i had him in the stroller after lunch (which was after Music Class – he normally is quite pooped out) but he’s didn’t fall asleep on the train like he normally does. Came home, got him to go lay down on my bed – still no sleep – so i thot never mind – we had to go so we went. We got there & he was really happy to see my friend’s little boy, played with him for 5mins & then collapsed on their floor, falling asleep. So moved him to the sofa – he fell asleep & after an hour or so woke up sobbing & screaming – didn’t calm down for a long time & won’t say what’s wrong. But he did take the bowl of biscuits on the coffee table & ate most of them. Still sobbing, we packed him into the car & my friend drove us home. Got home, Walter changed him into house clothes & he fell asleep on the sofa again. We ate & then he woke after we finished – he wouldn’t eat rice so i fried an egg for him – after only half an egg, he threw up. We cleaned up & put him PJs & gave him medication & he went to sleep. Woke quite a number of times during the night, saying pain (he bumped his head earlier) & needing cream. So in the end i slept in his bed with him. He woke up happy. Then by mid morning he had a fever (oh he had a fever during the night too) – which got higher as the afternoon went – another does & more sleep – fever broke by about 4pm & he has been his cheerful active self since. So i pray that’s the end of this round of illness.

So while he slept today, i did some more blog quiz thingys: Here’s they are:

Being in the land of chocolate, i thot this quiz would be really fun.

You are White Chocolate

You are White Chocolate You are sweet, caring, and truly very innocent. Whether your naive ways are a bit of act or not, people like to take care of you. You are a quiet flirt, and your power is often underestimated!

Sign, well, i’ve been feeling a fair bit of anger recently (cause unknown) so i thot this would be a good guide for me about me.

You Are 52% Peaceful

In general, you think the world’s a pretty great place – and you’re happy to be a part of it. Sometimes you struggle with life, but who doesn’t? You are quite level headed, though you have more inner angst than you’d like.

So that’s was my day today – looking after my feverish son, trying to finish my stocklist of books & internet stuff.

i had initially wanted to blog about some cute Tobias stuff – but i think i’ll hold that off for another day – i was reading other mummy blogs & came across a rather interesting one – interesting to me – The BiPolar Diaries – she is a mummy, a professor & a photographer too. Plus she shares a Christian worldview. i have just started reading her blog about a week or so ago – very interesting – in fact she has several blogs going – check her out & the links on her page too.

Anyhow, she was posting about re-doing a bathroom in her home & had a link to a home reno website which also had a little quiz about What’s Your Style? – it sounded fun – so i took the test & asked my darling hubby to take it too – i can’t give a link to the results but here is what it said about my style: Your style is eccentric with a touch of sweet & classy. (now how do u like that?? Me – sweet & classy 😉 My darling hubby’s style is eccentric with a touch of sweet. People often ask why i married my hubby – i always reply,:” He makes me laugh.” – which is a very important thing for me – now i can add another answer to this – we share similar home deco styles – hahahhaha 😉
Here’s the link for you to try the quiz for yourselves. What’s Your Design Style?

Here’s another matter of interest for today – we now live in the land of Chocolate & Cheese – well, things are certainly shaking in the cocoa industry – it seems that chocolate prices might rise cos the largest producer of cocoa – the Ivory Coast – has been at war & production is affected – so chocoaholics – stock up before price hikes – hahahhaha 😉 check out the article here.

The other fun thing i have come across today is Blogthings – interesting quiz & other stuff you can put on your blog.
Here’s one which i did today – What does your name mean?

What Sandra Means

S is for Sassy A is for Animated N is for Normal D is for Devilish R is for Relaxed A is for Alluring

So is this an true assessment of me?? You tell me! To be Normal & Devilish at the same time might be too much of an oxymoron? Besides i have never thot of myself as normal – hahahhaha 😉

Have fun – i might post more such stuff.
That’s all from me today!
