Sunbathing

No time for that today for me - even though it was pleasantly less warm than it has been.  Wood delivery this morning, then a seemingly endless stream of admin tasks - each more urgent than the last - to divert me from the scheduled task for the day (painting a wall).

The last of the urgent tasks was acting as satnav for Mr B to divert him around some motorway chaos (M20) which somehow neither of us knew about despite it being all over the news last time it happened.  Anyway, a 4 hour delay on services meant his clever rushing about was pointless.  Hopefully he managed to find time to get to the supermarket to buy the essential supplies we need down here (crisps). 

Later, time for a bit of painting right in the bit of the day I was trying to avoid (the hot bit).  A shower and dash to take the boys to the cinema interrupted my flow, and then my complaining shoulder persuaded me to leave it for today.  One advantage of the hot weather is that paint dries super-quick, so hopefully tomorrow I can get all the rest done, and recoated.

Later, the boys were brought back from the cinema by a neighbour. It was not a surprise that one boy came over to our house afterwards, but his arriving with a rice salad was unusual.  Turns out he was staying for dinner.  Later still, it turns out he is sleeping here too. It is nearly midnight and they are all still up.  Is it inappropriate to go to bed before the kids?
