Breakfast: being grouchy.

Lunch: porridge, bread, butter, soup with carrots beetroot and cabbage.

Snack: baked apple, bread with ham and cheese, cream on the apples
and apple juice.

Took me an hour and a half of staring at the ceiling before I fell asleep
yesterday so when my little sister woke me up at 7 o'clock so we'd be in time for
the class trip to Hogelby I have to admit that I was a bit of a grouch.

It was an iron aged themed day so everyone had to dress in iron age clothing,
turn their phones off, get new names, and work like they did back then.
Spent some time in the forge crafting hooks and dying yarn with plants, and
making something useful out of wool.

Was in charge of four kids including my sister and holy mother of
camels is it stressful to be the person in charge. They're third graders and you'd
think a third grader would understand to not bring a 200-300 centigrade piece
of iron close to their face after I've told them repeatedly, but NOOOOO.

Hook made by the Meatball and Simon.
Simon managed to lose it though.
 

Feet. Started out OK.
Ended up not so OK.

The view from the forge.
The building to the right is where they cooked all of the food.
The building to the left is where they chopped wood and made
these very primitive toys, tied it to a string, and whirled it to make a sound.
