Le weekend est arrive! Well it had for me....
Although I wasn't the quickest out of the blocks, I pottered away with overtime (3 more hours) before packing up bedding, clothes, supplies, bed time stories.
School pick up, to mine, Grace picked up, then eventually to her drama class Christmas show. As we stopped to drop her and daughter, a woman stopped on her way into her house. I've got two boys in the car, door open, she can see Grace is being escorted across the road, but decides to say anyway 'You're blocking my drive'
I said 'Yes, but no ones coming in or going out right now"

"Well, my nanny clocks off in 15 minutes"

"Yes" I said.

"Well, how cheeky" said she.

First world problems.. Nanny can't get her Golf out of the driveway in Morningside shocker. At that point I told her to fuck off. Within 20 seconds we were gone, and parked.

The show was - exactly what you'd expect. And then to hers; fed the boys and I shambled round to Malone's; ordered a bottle of wine and proceeded to imbibe and partake of festive cheer. The usual feeling of alienation and indifference to it all, but duty done and caught up with a few OK folks; and in by - 10? 1030? Given the busy day booked for Saturday, I figured I'd better not stay out all night. Not this time, anyway....

Her leading the charge to her daughter's Christmas drama show; extra is a variation
