I worked this morning which was all quite busy. I had my quarterly review and updated my boss on my progress on various tasks, I spent some time sorting out fines for a nursery which has lost 22 books and dealing with the paperwork for various books borrowed and being sent to other libaries out of the county including one from the British Library.
I nipped home really quickly to get changed before heading over to Julie’s to collect Davies and Scarlett. Lorna was asleep upstairs and the other four children were strewn about the garden in the sunshine all looking very tired and spent. They’d had a lovely morning playing and watching Total Wipeout on TV.
Scarlett had been complaining of a sore throat and was very clingy. Some of Ady’s traditional pre-holiday doom has rubbed off on me this time and I’m convinced one or more of us will be ill before the weekend so I’m really hoping that isn’t pessimsim coming true 🙁
I stayed for a cup of tea and a chat with Julie for an hour and then we came home. Scarlett had some medicine which seemed to perk her up and then as they were both hungry I made their tea – Davies wanted pasta, Scarlett wanted french toast. We messed about as per the post below and then it was time for Badgers.
I went and sat on the beach in the sunshine with my book for most of the hour, returning to meet Ady who had been to collect The Cupboard part 2 from Jonathan’s parents and came to get the allotment key from me to go and do the watering.
Home for a bit of Charlie Small and then to bed for Davies and Scarlett who were both asleep before 8pm which is simply unheard of.
My two aren’t going to bed any earlier but they are sleeping in an hour later. I think this heat is gradually sapping their energy. It’s certainly taking it out of me!
