Babysitting for my (previously known as American) friends tonight. It's not an difficult task. Three out of four of the children were asleep by the time I arrived and the fourth was a delight to chat with before heading to bed without any issues whatsoever.

To be honest, the only problem is that I can't find the biscuits.

The end to an enjoyable day which saw my colleague and I undertaking tree and woodland surveys in the sunshine and warmth of Deeside and then sitting outside in the garden after work and school with my eldest and youngest, a pot of tea and the remains of the banana and chocolate chip loaf.
