Sleepy day

Today P was at junior school as a governor, mainly helping escort chuldren to & from carol concert at church. He kindly took J to school for me. I woke up with a headache so took 2 paracetamol & decided to have a bit more sleep. I woke up at 12.40! I must have needed the sleep. Actually last week was really busy, I was out every single day.

Highlights of the week were:

• going to Christmas fair at J's junior school on Friday (the children seemed tiny!)

• going to village Christmas fair on Saturday at which J & other scouts were doing car washing, this is a really nice event with beautifully decorated stalls & lots of home-made cakes & chutney & a really good book stall, I went over & chose a pile of books then P said 'I'll take the ones I bought earlier now please' & added another huge pile to my lap, people were laughing at me I was so laden

• our delayed bonfire night on Saturday evening, one of J's new friends who I'll call 'Paul' came as well as Tim & Adam, Paul seems a very nice polite & sensible sort of boy & got on well with Tim & Adam which was a relief. Sadly it did start raining a bit which didn't bother the boys but the grown-ups felt a bit wet & miserable. As usual the kids showed more interest in sparklers & glow sticks than the amazing, multi-coloured expensive rockets & fountains. What we weren't anticipating was one of them (mentioning no names) sticking hot sparklers into the glow sticks so the glow goo came oozing out. This same child then took a bag from his pocket & said 'I'm just going to light my home-made sparkler' 'You're what???' I yelled 'Someone stop him!' His home-made firework turned out to be a stick. I was really glad Becky was there to help keep them under control.
  

Then we had baked potatoes indoors & got warm & the boys played bowling on the wii.

Have to go it's dinner time.
