A quiet morning at work; then out for the afternoon for a few last minute things that needed tidying up. 
And collected her from work; to the doc for a scan (all fine, obv - but better to know than not know) and off to collect her stuff before winding up at mine for the evening. 

There was a steady flow of texts and calls until it all kicked off around 1030. 
Apparently her lass' dad decided he'd had enough so thinking 'she' was off in the Highlands, took G and her friend back to the friend's mother and dumped them there. Then switched his phone off and vanished. 
So at around midnight the other girl's mum phoned and asked if she knew what was going on and the whole story about how the girls had been going to stay with him, something had happened and he'd said they had to leave..! Throwing his own 11 year old out because he'd had enough after 5 hours...! So a tearful G was on (possibly not entirely innocent, but hardly worthy of being flung out) and so was the mum so there was an interesting couple of hours of discourse as we tried to piece together the evening's events and wonder WTF to do next....

He really is a Grade A F.U.
