The Chantry Chapel

9.45pm and England have just lost the semi final against Croatia. 
It would appear it's not coming home :-(
What a great few weeks it's been though. 
Listening to PMQs on the way home from work this afternoon I couldn't help but wonder who on earth is doing anything to actually run the country. It's all Brexit chaos and sniping and point scoring. What about schools and hospitals and rural bus routes? 
When will it end?!!!!!
On the day after the Referendum - over two years ago!!! - I wrote 

I feel like the next ten years are going to be written off. Just when we'd got back on our feet. Chaos, instability, division, the anger and disillusionment when the leavers realise that the UK government is not able to deliver on any of the promises and claims they made during the travesty of a campaign.

It's not even about the rights and wrongs of leaving the EU - everyone's entitled to their own opinion on that even if it is misguided, stupid, short-sighted and just plain wrong  - it's the inability to sort it all out. It's a shambles!
Listening to PMQs Miss E asked why they were ask shouting each other and making weird noises. 
I had to tell her these are the people that run the country!!
They couldn't organise a piss up in a brewery.

I had to take the Little Misses with me to work this morning. The plan had been for Mr K to be here and take them to the dentist and then go to work when I got back. Last minute urgent work stuff meant he had to go in so I took the Little Misses with me. We had words on the way and they were under no illusions what would happen if they interrupted my lessons or made any noise or started fighting or did anything that didn't involve sitting quietly like little mice. Invisible little mice!!
I have to say they were brilliant. The venue has a stage so they pulled the curtain across and sat up there playing on their iPads.
We had to have more words about their attitude to being asked to tidy up after themselves. You'd think I'd asked them to spent a month shovelling shit with their bare hands. Grrrrrrrrrr!!!
After getting home to see Archie we headed back out for Miss E to spend her birthday vouchers in WHSmith. First of all it was to the Post Office. I'd gone into a post office on the way home from work with an eBay parcel. I'd expected to pay £2.95 and was slightly horrified to be asked for £13.45. Apparently it was 6g over the weight. Arse!!
I took it home, unwrapped it, removed two sides of the cardboard box inside and wrapped it up again. 1097g this time and £2.95. Woohoo!!!!
After what felt like hours in WHSmith we headed to the second hand bookshop in the Chantry Chapel.
The Chantry Chapel is the oldest building in Buckingham apparently. It was built in the late 12th Century as a hospital and first used as a school in 1423. The Grammar School is celebrating its six hundredth anniversary in 2023!!
The afternoon was spent baking - orange polenta cakes from Miss L and chocolate cake from Miss E. Delicious!!
And then watching England beat Croatia and get through to the Final.
Oh wait........
Sigh.
