We’ve invited our neighbours in for a cup of tea
mid-morning, and very civilised it is too. Tea and homemade Lemon Drizzle cake
(courtesy of Mrs P). Always nice to catch up on any local news, and find out why
there was an ambulance in the street on Saturday night! Back to collect junior
and he does look as though he’s been impersonating a mud bathing hippo, and
having a great time doing it. Back home muddy gear off and straight in the
shower, and there’s some more washing to do.
After lunch the eldest needs running to a friends
house, then after a few errands it’s back home for a cuppa and a read. I order
some umpiring gear for both me and junior, which makes a dint in the savings,
but it needs doing. Let's hope we both enjoy doing it. Then we look at car
insurance using various comparison websites, it can be tricky to get like for
like comparisons if you don’t look carefully, even using these sites. Find a
cheaper price by about 20% for Mrs P’s renewal, but when we ring her existing
provider they are not interested in matching it. Quite surprising this as Mrs P
hasn’t had a claim in a long time, but I’m sure they know their business better
than I do. Off out again to collect the eldest, then we’re it’s on to Mrs P’s sisters
for tea.
Sat round the table after tea and the 5 teenagers are
all glued to their mobile devices, though some are playing the same game, which
makes it almost a social activity! I then watch as they decamp on mass to watch
the TV, though all of them do so whilst continuing to use their mobiles. It must
be a generational thing but I can only do one thing at a time, read or watch
the TV, not both together.
Funny you’d have thought the holidays would be just
that, but for your regular house husband it just makes life busier.
Yours
