Difficult day

The eldest rode off to his rugby match this morning with the husband following along. Played pretty well apparently, husband happily chatted to friends on the side line. I got some jobs done with the youngest. 

Morning brought the news I'd heard through the school rumour mill and had hope wasn't true. One of the girls in the youngest class who had been ill last week died on Friday afternoon. Soy thoughts have been with her family all day, and I can't understand how you could ever come to terms with something like this. The boys have taken it in their stride (school asked parents to tell children so they know before going to school). I think it might hit home for them tomorrow. Just so very sad. 

Pottering kind of day, lots of jobs done and a great run/ cycle ride with the eldest (and dog). We got drenched, but not a grumble uttered.
