just another morning here

Very pleased to have Abbie home from her few days away; she had a fabulous time on her Y5 residential. It was a bit quieter without her here, and Steve & I had to do guinea pig duty which she normally does without much reminding. It was also duly noted that there were a few less sibling arguments!

Anyway. When the kids first started school, I’ll be honest, I was dead jealous that someone else went with them on these trips and got to see them having fun, learning while out and about, when I thought that was my job alone! I’m over it now, in the main. I’m still occasionally slightly envious that teachers and instructors are the ones watching them while I’m at work being attacked with bananas, but all the same grateful to Miss White for taking just a few photos of Abbie in action. The landscapes are Abbie’s own photos from a walk they went on.

She doesn’t seem overly tired tonight which is good, we’re settling down with wine and The Karate Kid which I am ridiculously nostalgically excited about. Steve is laughing at me … apparently it is one thing to have fancied Ralph Macchio in 1985 when I first watched the film and quite another to still fancy him now!
