6.16 a.m

It is still quite dark, not as dark as it was last night when I dropped Jacca off at the coach for his exchange visit to France.

Some of the other parents looked genuinly upset at the prospect of a week away from darling offspring, I was rejoicing! Does this make me a bad parent?!?

I have noticed changes already since Jacca left.

# The towels have stayed on the towel rails and not jumped on to the floor.

# There is still some sugar in the sugar bowl, and sugar has not been spread all over the counter.
