Harry Potter and swimming.
Despite heckling and all the rest of it, I did go to bed positively early last night. I then laid there for hours listening to a computer rebooting itself with monotonous regularity and eventually got disturbed by Tim coming to … Continue reading

Long day today (although not compared to a working day. That seems like another life already, although it’s not even a month ago yet). Got up with the alarm, or as near as I ever do, and tootled off into … Continue reading

Groundrules and guests.
Last week it was very wet and dreary for August, so A bought a Wii for holiday club, which at least meant the children were active and happy rather than just drooping around the place. Then as they are away … Continue reading

another week, another catch up blog post.
But not posted on Friday night as I was in a field. Well, for some of it, quite a lot of it was spent drinking wine in a nearby house. The week before. No walking (no cat to feed). No … Continue reading
