Life

I took my birthday day off and went out for breakfast with Σσ and Αα. Got a good crop of new socks and an overshirt/shacket that makes me look a bit like a lab technician or a groundsman.

Then we went for a thoroughly chaotic ‘teddy bears picnic’ at Ηη’s school followed by a much more interesting (pizza, prosecco, and cake) picnic in Clissold with Gabs, the Robinsons and the Popes.

On Saturday, Σσ made the distinctly unpleasant discovery that Αα has bumworms so we’re all on the bumworm tablets just in case. On the plus side it makes nits seem like much less of a deal.

We dropped in on Emlyn’s birthday party down the street before bussing up to Gabi’s leaving party at Carol’s pub. Both were great. Emlyn’s was remarkably calm (Σσ suggested perhaps it was due to the absence of the reception class usual suspects, almost certainly true) and Gabi’s was bittersweet. I mostly spent it crafting a glitter unicorn mask in block pastel shades and studiously avoiding thinking about the reason the party was happening.

Σσ is pretty much totally broken and long-overdue a holiday. I have much less right to be in a similar state, but I think I might be pretty close.

Tour de France has been good value so far.
