Favourite Uncle

Filed under: — Nic @ 10:34 pm

I’m feeling better tonight, having spent the whole day feeling faint and weak. I actually had a low level feeling of nausea all day very similar to the early weeks of pregnancy with both D&S (and no, I’m not, and if I am then we are so sueing the hospital who snipped A and the doctors who tested him to say it had worked :lol:). Work was fine, my last hope of swapping shifts for Kessingland said she would but as she is depserately looking for another job at the moment there is every chance she won’t be working there any more by June so she won’t actually agree to swap at the moment but will if she is still there. Hmmm 🙁

Lucy was here this morning and Frazer did Dad’s stint instead this afternoon, arriving shortly after midday which is at least two hours earlier than he normally gets up when he’s not working. He was an absolute model uncle – when I got in at 5.15pm he had Scarlett snuggled up on his lap watching Robin Hood with him and Davies making him geomag models. He’d walked down to the park on the seafront with them, taken them on the train and bought them ice creams and then walked home again. They had worn coats and shoes and he’d walked at their pace and shepherded them along the busy road and appeared to have actually enjoyed it. This is something even my Mum would have struggled to do. They were full of how he’d pushed them on the swings and talked to them. I’m delighted 🙂 🙂 🙂 Physical exercise, fresh air, treats, time with a relative and an adult male and someone other than me actually enjoying my children and delighting in spending time in their company. 🙂 Hurrah for Frazer!

Frazer left, we tidied up and they had an ecclectic selection of foodstuffs for their tea before getting into pjs and watching Masterchef with me before bed. I had a lovely long bath, a nice dinner and have drunk wine so I must be feeling better. Ady rang just as I was sitting down to eat to say his Travelodge has a power cut so noone can check into their rooms, and the restuarant isn’t serving food – sounds like a nightmare 🙁
