Thanks for all the lovely comments yesterday everybody. I am full of warm squidginess and feeling loads better. Just a quickie post tonight as I plan to sleep the sleep of the very sleepy person who has had some sleep sandwiches and is now off to bed. So I will leave you with a little run down of Miss E and Miss M’s latest activities, namely Sports Day and a little encore for Miss E.
Miss M’s first Sports Day starts off with the ‘walking along the bench while attempting to keep your halo straight’ game. Of course Miss M manages admirably, snort.
Next came the welly toss. Unfortunately Miss M is not much of a welly tosser, so she uses the power of her mind to egg the welly on just a few more inches.
It does not work.
Then it’s the obstacle race where Miss M is like ‘a rat up a drain pipe’ as one parent pointed out. Sighhh. I am so proud.
And finally a fast finish on a scooter twice her size.
As the sporting activities draw to a close, Miss M ponders whether there is much point to this sports day malarkey where everyone gets a certificate and it’s the taking part that counts rather than the winning…
If she’s anything like her mummy was the answer will be yes.
Oh, and Miss E’s Oliver Performance was fabulous and I’m sooo proud of her. This was the final encore on their last show.
E is second from the left staring at something on the ceiling that seems to have caught her eye but still singing her heart out. The show was unbelievable considering no member of the cast was older than 11. It’s been a really good experience for E and has done so much for her confidence, and the talent there was amazing.
So I have two tired monkeys today. It’s a blumming good job the support staff were on strike as we all needed a lie in. Miss M actually stayed in bed till 7.30am. I am amazed and drugged by the extra sleep.
Night night.

Sleep so very well, my sweet. I too am heading bedwards. There must be sleep potion pumped into the atmosphere or something. Either that or someone turned up the gravity in the Midlands (note to Holly, that’s the MIDLANDS, not the North
hee hee hee!). They should forecast gravity density along with the pollen count.

Yay for extra sleep! I’m at the point where I can’t remember the last time I went to bed before midnight or got to sleep past six. Sleep sweet and will chat at you soonly!

Glad you’re feeling better, I was going to offer words of encouragement yesterday when I saw your post, but decided to do the ‘guy thing’ and tagged it to come back to at some point, in the hopes that it would be all better by the time I got around to it. It worked!

I remember the kid’s sports days with fondness.
I’m in sore need of more sleep, it’s 00.48 her and I’m getting ready to go to the airport for a flight to Kefalonia. I know you feel sorry for me (LOL). See you in two weeks so don’t post too much as it will take me ages to catch up!

That was rather long for a quick post, but then again, I lack your eloquence and charm, so my posts tend to wind up being insubstantial bits sometimes.
In any case, it looks like everyone had fun at the sports outing, and my goodness that is a large cast. I’ve been reading your blog for a while. I figured I’d take a moment to comment as my eyes are going buggy from project management documentation.
So back to that I go, and then hopefully off to sleep at a reasonable time. It’s been a rough week. Be well.

Belle, I think it might have been the pollen count.
Kim, big hugs my sweet.
WT, I think I love you. Snigger.
Akela, Kefalonia, that makes me think of Captain Corelli. Swoon.
Ian, hope your eyes didn’t go too buggy. Hope your weekend is not so rough.
Holl, Miss M has mad skillz, snort, and don’t they all look cute in their Victorian dress. Kisses.
Sandi thank you, you are so lovely and I am proud of my little monkeys. Hope you’re good too.
