The longest day...

As Maureen was still away on holiday today, Sophie came in to cover Reception while Polly cooked. My daughter was really not in the mood to be at work today and charged a customer £48,000 to come in...oh, that it were true!

We were at work until the very bitter end today and it was bitter! We had an impromptu party arrive and the children were very badly behaved - screaming around the seating area on the little didi cars and trying to break our fluorescent lights by throwing footballs at them. We turned everything off at 6pm but they still refused to budge. Typical!

It was such a relief when they finally left and we could escape. We gave Polly a lift and then drove home where we decided to go to The Lamplighter once we'd taken Mike to Army Cadets. He was in a field this evening next to where he usually goes and we saw three hot air balloons in the distance, which looked lovely just hovering in the sky.

As usual, we had a very pleasant meal and a chat in the pub and all too soon it was time to go back and collect Mike. It was a beautiful evening and we sat and waited for them all to finish their exercises in the car, not daring to go and lean on the gate to watch them!

When Mike returned his eyes were all swollen and he said he was finding it difficult to breathe... Now. Mike can be a bit of a drama queen so we didn't take much notice of the breathing bit, but his eyes were puffed up so I gave him an antihistamine tablet and he went to have a bath. No doubt he will try and get out of going to school tomorrow!
