Water park

Lovely 'holiday' day today. 

My best friend (because you can still have best friends at my age) came over to lunch.  She lives in New York and is having a dreadful time at the moment, so we had a great catch-up, always all too short, always as if it was yesterday when we last saw each other.  I told the eldest that she was in need to lots of cuddles, which was taken very seriously and most certainly delivered.

We had to get out of the house after lunch, simply because I don't think we'd survive a day couped up inside, so we went to the water park.  An hour and a half playing with water (there's enough of it to go round at the moment!).  The youngest almost fell into the lake, Blue Bear did fall into the lake (with the youngest following until I grabbed him, not before his arms and head had had a bit of a dunking...).  

We found our local version of hell this morning - we 'popped' to Waitrose - and queued for 20 minutes to get to a till. Somehow, we came away with a sense of humour, which I think is impressive.
