And after some early morning kayaking, an evening of crabbing was productive.

One can easily see why they are called BLUE Crabs!

Do you do alot of crabbing? And do you have to have a permit to get crabs? They look awesome by the way. We don't get Blue Crabs here.

Good morning all. It's a tennis day today. It's been kne every day this week as I havebeen watching it on television, but today I am heading up to Queen's in west London to watch it live :)

@Bee62 Sabine your latest song was beautiful. I did have a think and 3 came to mind... Queen's "Love of my !ife", or "Who wants to live forever" and Elton John's "Your Song" ... I'll let you choose as I can't make my mind up

Dan I do hope your meds kkck in quickly and effectively. We do worry about you :(
Off on your adventures again...Awesome and looking forward to the postcards again. Fantastic choices for your songs. And Cheers to a wonderful Friday and good tennis matches.

Queen’s is probably the poshest tennis venue in the world. It’s in the middle of Kensington (home to Harrods). For one week a year the serving classes mix with some frightfully wealthy people, that have probably never ventured into Kent without their chauffeur, to watch tennis. There’s good people watching to be had here :D

Kids love clay or plasticine to make models with.
Does she have Lego or similar?
What about den building?
My niece used to love the hand and foot painting we did outside on old rolls of wallpaper.
Cut and paste activities - catalogues are ideal for that.
Make a diorama in a shoebox - there are lots of ideas for that if you Google.
Pebble painting.
Memory/pairs games
Nature treasure hunt - there are some good ones online.
Hope that helps.
I'm stealing these for our summer too! ;)

Happy Friday, roommates!
Daughter got the first place (among her classmates) at her school’s science fair. “Women in Science” and “Women Who Changed the World” are some of her favorite books. [emoji23]
We’re traveling that side of the Atlantic on Wednesday already! :eek: :eek:

The crabbing season runs from April until October, but, they really are just now coming up this far into the Bay where we can easily catch them. Yes and no on license, depends on the type of crabbing gear one uses. License is just $5.00

A good way to supplement your food coffers then.
