We’re thinking it’s been a busy day…..

7.30 a.m. Yoga

8a.m. Plasterer arrived

8.30 a.m. Ocado delivery

9 a.m. put the shopping away…..

10a.m. Bryan arrived to look at the Lotus

10.30 a.m. John out for breakfast with Bryan

11 a.m. Set the Quiz

12 noon: John back from breakfast and out into the garage to tinker

1 p.m. Anne – consider pottering in the garden. Oh…. shame…. it’s raining. Never mind, settle in the lounge and catch up on TV programmes ……aaaand….breathe…..

Lordy! It took me forever to put the shopping away. It took me forever to set just two quiz rounds. That’s because I couldn’t decide what to do. Should I set questions on the Jubilee? Do a General Knowledge round? Or Pot Pourri? Or questions on James Bond? (our frequently-visited-topic). Or, how about….. (now here’s an inspiration!) something on the Thunderbirds? (we’d had a question about them the other week which went down well….). Hmmm…… I didn’t know what questions to set.

In the end, I was rather glad I didn’t go for any of the above because, guess what? Other team members selected the very same (except Bond). I went for something close to my heart: Words. And for Round Two? Birds.

Whilst John was tinkering in the garage, I watched several episodes of ‘Hunted’, ‘Love Island’ and ‘Bake Off: The Professionals’ at the same time as stuffing my face with crisps, a whole pot of ‘The Collective’ passion fruit yogurt, and a banana. I am now officially fat.

I was just finishing up with the excitement of the last episode of ‘Hunted’ when Danielle texted to wonder if I might get there a bit earlier than planned. Poor girl said she was ‘struggling with tiredness’. I interpreted that as ‘I am knackered’, so yep, no problem. I was done with my TV viewing, so I set off.

I had a lovely time with the children, playing and chatting and reading and singing and eating and drinking. All rather good. Michael and Danielle were off to a Parent’s Evening at school for new starters in September, so I put the boys to bed and they were as good as gold. Honestly, it was lovely.

I was back in time for this evening’s Quiz and once again we had fun. John was in full flow and Quiz Master for our rounds and the fun was enhanced with a couple of glasses of wine for me which I felt I ought to have for medicinal purposes…… John was on water.

So there we are. Whatever the reality of it, we thought we’d had a busy day……

Take care everyone. God bless. Hold your loved ones close.
