Play Date

Sunday; boys with me this morning. We did the usual Sunday kids TV / breakfast / dressed stuff, and then we'd arranged swimming with their friend at the Commie Pool.

We got out, hung up washing, got a 19 to town, got off, dotted about, bought some sandwiches for lunch, got another bus up to the university and hooked up with them all there.

Once the kids got together, they charged across the Meadows and laughed, teased, mucked about. There's such chemistry between them; sure they have their moments but it's bizarre to see the younger one hold her hand and the older one offer her support and help. Just - great!

Swimming was good, the younger one bobbed around, clingy at first but then got stuck in and with arm bands, was off, no stopping him.

Tired but happy, we all walked back to theirs, munching on cheap gaudy coloured sweets and chattering away.

We got to meet Crescent, the kitten for life and not just Christmas; sweet little thing!

Bus home, boys back and I'm now in the kitchen making ham pea cheese cream pasta.....
