July notes

Midweek. 

Jim was in the car on the way to school and very thoughtfully that everything is made of shapes. I asked him if he was doing shapes in school but he wasn't. 

I went to school to have Father's Day lunch on Thursday. Jim was super happy to see me and leapt into my arms. Had disgusting roast beef and yorkies then hit the playground. He showed me all the dangerous things he does on the equipment and we pottered. Met the notorious Edward and felt slightly sorry for him. Jim seems to be popular with the girls and Jack Jeavons is Ralph Wiggum. I was about to leave and gave Jim a helicopter swing, upon which I was suddenly surrounded by a gaggle of children wanting/demandingto do the same. I had quite a following by the time I left.

22/23 July

Saturday. Minnie had her spy party today so I was left with Amy and Jim, who watched someone else playing mine craft and then made things out of pegs and plastic cups when they got bored. Sam very easy. C back sans Minnie in the afternoon, and we did our usual circuit into town via Nero and failed to get cushions or pasta bowls but did get shoes for everyone. Barbie interrupted by rain in the evening.

Sunday was a relatively quiet morning owing to no Minnie, and the bubba slept until 7.30. The noisy one came home at 11 or so, and Amy was simultaneously swapped out for a sponsored cycle ride. She was home by 1 or so though, and then Amy, Jim and I went to see Despicable Me 2, which was hilarious. I think the main reason Min didn't come was because attendance was predicated on tidying up, and she didn't fancy it. Was enormously irritated by bairns off and on today due to being tired and have decided to pay pocket money at the end of weekends and make it dependent on tidying up. That also allows docking for offences such as leaving the hand towel on the floor or the toilet seat up...
