Went to visit beans on Friday night – arrived very late, partially due to tights traumas, partially due to Small wanting to walk rather than ride in the car!, and partly because I’m just incompetent.

Was good to see them all.

Had to leave about 4 on Sat to go on to next part of itinerary, arrived early. 😀 (Applause please!)

Sunday (today, yes) was Tim’s father’s 80th birthday, which was the motivation for the trip this weekend. So family lunch. Was good, and children were wonderfully well behaved, which is also nice.

And then had to drive home. Far too much driving this weekend.

Have pottered doing bits of work this evening, am now going to bed and hoping Small doesn’t repeat activities of last night where he screamed on and off for four hours. Still feel rather tired after that.
