Average day for a house husband ... Thursday 3rd Oct

I decide to trust the weather forecast and hang the washing out this morning before I go out. Such are the big decisions I have to make as a house husband. The library is quiet this morning, but they do have in a book I’d reserved and so I now have something to read for the next week. One of the few perks of volunteering at the library is seeing what they’ve got coming in, and reserving the ones I’d like. On a bright note the chap who used to regularly come in to use the computers, but whom I hadn’t seen for a couple of months was back. Apparently he’d been on a couple of holidays, the Lake District and a trans Atlantic cruise, which is nice if you can do it.

I get home in time to rescue the washing before the rain comes, which saves me having to turn on the tumble dryer. Well done the weather forecasters. The afternoon consists of dusting, vacuuming, ironing, and then making tea, so basically housework. Then playing with the youngest who was let out early from school again today. A bit of family bonding.

In the evening the eldest was out. She drove herself, which is becoming quite common for us. She started to learn to drive in December in the dark, which has turned out to be a bonus for us, as she is very comfortable with it. In retrospect it has been an unexpected bonus for the Perry household. As it is quiet at home I get the chance to start my book, with a cup of tea to hand. A rare luxury.

Yours taking it easy.
