Roman Pyjama Day

Roman dressing up day and pjs for Children in Need coincided this year. It did mean Anna walked to school in her slippers as it was a little chilly for sandals. Through pure guilt at not doing all the things Anna would like me to do with school I agreed to spend the entire day helping 60 children cook and serve themselves a banquet eaten lying on cushions dressed in togas. Despite all my fears and the nagging of the annoying amount of work that arrived overnight that appears to suddenly be urgent, I had a great day. The kids were all lovely and behaved really well and had so much fun and clearly just enjoyed themselves so much it was all very worthwhile. And I got to sneak into the CIN dares assembly to watch my daughter have a ball of a time doing such things as try "dog food" and attempt to throw marshmallows into a fellow student's mouth.

And I ran my first actual, real, full 5k for at least three years.

And Carl has made curry and we are back in the West Wing groove.

A happy, happy day.
