1. Up at 6.45 with the older of the two young men. We had to have a yogurt together and then set up the train set with a different track. Build the bridges, erect the tunnel and then off we go. The floor is getting hard for this old lady and the getting up is even worse.
2. We managed to hold out until 9.00 to allow the mummy to have a sleep whilst the tiny slumbered too. Breakfast then a promise of baking - the good old favourite carrott cup cakes. Mixing, stirring, cracking and spooning and boy what a lovely mess we made. The cakes are delicious.
3. Off to the park on our scooter on the road. This Grandma has a churning stomach. The imperative to scoot at the side of the road is not always heeded. Glad to be back indoors.
4. Five minutes peace whilst they watch a DVD and before it is time to sort out the dinner. Mealtimes are early in the household. Guess who is looking forward to bedtime.
5. Lacuna, the book I am presently reading, has now moved onto Trotsky in Mexico, fighting his corner against Stalin, knowing that most of his children have been killed. The account is written through the eyes of a diarist.
6. Meanwhile dare I mention the treasure hunt. I dare mention it, but I wonder if it is still to do for my return. My return being Tuesday 1.45. Emily is keen to meet me with Toby at the barrier, but I will send you usual texts about arrival etc and perhaps you could come up with a carton of milk. I shall be looking forward to a cup of tea and a sleep probably.
7. I have been keeping up with the crossword and codewords - they help to pass the time. I shall be counting the hours soon for my return.
Lady in waiting
