What's a weekend? I've spent the last 7 days looking after other people's children, and sometimes even my own. Don't get me wrong, I sometimes quite enjoy Nursery, and I really enjoy Rainbows and Junior Church, but I am tired, and I need a break from the whole volunteering/working thing. Unfortunately, that won't happen until the Ally Pally Knitting and Stitching Show in a fortnight's time, which will be a yarn heavy weekend with a great deal of petting and sighing and buying.
On Saturday, we took the Rainbows to London Zoo. There were a lot of Rainbows there. It was as you would expect it to be, so I will draw a veil over that part of the weekend. One girl was sick, a couple were a bit tearful when we left, my own daughter was as good as can be hoped for, and the whole thing went with a swing.
The gorillas were my favourite animals by far, and they make me feel sad, as they are clearly too intelligent to be in captivity. They have very sad faces, she says, with great profundity.
Simon went for a date with my friend Lyn's husband on Sunday - they went to get "manscaped", which in practice meant a wet shave with hot towels, rather than a back, sack and crack, but that took the whole afternoon, so further child entertainment was provided in the form of Lyn and Laura, Pizza Express, some swings and a lot of food.
I am doing the October Unprocessed thing again this year, so tonight we are having home made from scratch spaghetti bolognese with parmesan and extra wine. Yum.
