They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old;
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them.

For the Fallen - Laurence Binyon

I've had such a busy day today. My two eldest sons were 'off' school today for 'Progress Review Day' - what a joke! A 15 minute interview with the teacher and the rest of the day at home! Well we made the most of it and went shopping! I treated them to a naughty McD's and after the boiler/gas fire man had been to service and condemn (!!!) we went to play badminton. My boys are getting really good now. Too good - my eldest can now beat me, even though I'm fitter than I was :-( That was the only thing I had to cling onto and it's gone!! My dad came too but is still banned from playing after all his eye trouble.

We then went home just in time to fetch my youngest from school and play with my dad's new touchscreen phone. They should really make the keyboard bigger for men's fingers! Don't worry, my youngest didn't miss out on the McD's treat as I took him for his tea before he whizzed off to footy practise and my middle son went to scouts. Oh and I forgot to mention the weather tonight which was atrocious!
