Tuesday 9th Apr

Both the teenagers were back to school today, so I got them fuelled up with breakfast before releasing them into the wild. The eldest really didn’t fancy it having had 18 days off, and with an inordinately heavy bag to carry, but being the caring parent I am I eased her out the door.

A quiet morning in the library today, punctuated only by a call from my father to say he had a computer problem at home, but was off out and could I go and take a look at it. Well what else are parents for I hear you ask? So I popped round and everything was working just fine, still a cup of tea and a Jaffa cake with mum was very nice.

I managed to tidy up outside, and do the ironing before the kids returned, and I set them up with drinks and snacks to see them through their homework, in this case snacks means Easter chocolates. They had another Easter egg dropped in today for them to share, and devoured it after their tea, half each without a thought as to whether their dad would like any. After tea Mrs P and I took a constitutional stroll around the block; the light evenings certainly make this a more pleasant experience. On returning the youngest is in the front on the xbox, the eldest is in the back doing homework/revision, I’m never really sure which, Mrs P takes over the kitchen, leaving me the bedroom. A nice opportunity for a read and so that’s what I do.

Yours taking it easy
