Ups and downs

Another set of job applications that we felt we couldn’t shortlist from...depressing!
Rest of the day ok but background frustrations running through still.
Home and chatted to the Cs. E&H were playing and I caught this moment of mock-sadness from H as they horsed around before all choosing their favourite meals from the local takeaways (burritos from Illegal Jacks, noodles from Red Box and a pizza from Papa John’s).  Every time they visit they clamour to rush to these favourites, it’s become a ritual for them, like running up Arthur’s Seat (needed after all that food!)
L&M and I went out to Aizle for dinner....much more refined and utterly delicious flavours. Talked about the children, M’s potential early retirement and holidays then home late. Yum!
