Little Outing

Al stayed off school today. I took Charlie for a walk in the afternoon. We were out for a long time. I walk really fast when I'm on my own.

Al spent all day on the sofa.

Yet another decorator came round to take down all the badly hung wallpaper.

Betsy had a rehearsal after school. When she came home we spent half an hour reading Touching The Void. It's only our third session on it and its still quite hard going. Lots of climbing terminology and a huge amount of funnels, cascades, ice axes, bivvy's and crampons.

Al and I are 2/3 if the way through Northen Lights and he is absolutely loving it. It's a long time since I read it and I'm really enjoying it again.

After Al goes to bed Betsy has an hour or so to watch something of her choice with us. Currently it's Spaced. Last night we watched one if my favourite episodes, Epiphanies. I love that show so much. To me it's really stood the test of time and still feels completely fresh and original.
