Golden time

Golden time is a time at Miss Bs school when, every Friday afternoon half an hour before home time, they get to do nice stuff like drawing and colouring.

'Golden time' has a nice ring to it.

This afternoon Master B and I hit the road for a local-ish shopping centre.

I'm not a fan of McDonald's on many levels but sometimes, just sometimes, it's the appropriate choice and feels like a treat, even if our bodies don't agree! Master B and I enjoyed our Macky D's this afternoon. He's much improved from earlier in the week. Phew.

To add balance: our evening wasn't so golden. While watching 'Topsy and Tim' on CBeebies Master B mentioned that he wished I was as nice as Topsy and Tims Mum. Ouch. Yeah mister, well Topsy and Tim obviously don't sulk when they don't get their own way, refuse to do what they need to do sometimes, or talk over the top of everyone in a shouty voice! (I didn't actually say that though, I just THOUGHT it!) Further, however, this situation may be a useful one in explaining the differences between real life and the charades that TV can present!!
