Friday; kicked off early - 0457. OK, not Liz Imbrie early, but - you know. Not good. School run, shopping, back to mine to prepare for the afternoon, school pick ups, extra child.

Commie pool for packed lunch then 2 hours of swimming pool nonsense.

1. I looked at my watch after ten minutes, convinced the first hour had already elapsed.
2. I swam about 7 strokes all in during the 120 minutes in the pool.

Then to her's; fish, chips, broccoli and pretty much perfect.

Home, tried boys to bed; bottled calling the folks for everything and eventually after a long tense debate arrived at calm.

January '15 is not the easiest.

And still speechless at Random Act of Kindness. Disappointed not to have made the Edinburgh blipbooze thing at Noble's. Oh well...
