Babysitting solution

Grumpy and tired from lack of sleep, having our grandsons for the day was hard work! Martin came with me to play Bad Cop. I was grateful he did as their behaviour wasn't the best in the supermarket buying picnic food. By the time I'd returned the trolley and walked back to the car, three silent fidget-free children were sat in the back seat. The marvels of a deep voice and solid stature. They were better behaved after his intervention.

I finally summoned the courage to knock next door to tell them I can't cope with listening to cockadoodledoo from 5am for hours on end. She said that she had heard him this morning and she would return him to the farm. Soon I hope. Yawn.
