Thursday…

… for when there’s time…!

Which happens to be Friday evening. J & A have gone out, something they rarely get the opportunity to do. The room monitors are on but we’re hoping all will go as usual and the girls won’t wake. And so to catch up here.

Thursday
Late morning today, we took Esmée on the bus into Cambridge. There needed to be a plan. She wasn’t overly keen but once on the top deck and spotting familiar places en route including her school, she was in good spirits. It was a long ride though. Once there, we bought a picnic lunch and headed for the river by Queen’s College and ate watching the many visitors on chauffeured punts having a great time on another beautiful day.

Then back on the bus! Esmée is not an enthusiastic walker so we hadn’t strayed far from the terminus but my piggy back skills were still required. D was packman.

I collected Théa from nursery and we all cooled our feet in the pool. The girls had dinner in the garden…moules, chips and salad. The grown ups ate later; an Indian takeaway and red wine. Lots of talk. Both sons and their wives live different lives to their upbringing but we have much to be grateful for and this evening has been good.

Thursday done. The week is going so quickly.
