I am torn between the sandpit (benefit: close enough to walk) and the one o'c club (benefit, I can be lazy as twins less prone to running off or climbing to the top of the helicopter)


Child no 1 is out for the day with his godmother. What do people any think? Who's free and what do you fancy?

Hope you all had a nice time, here's how our morning went...


9.30am I suggested to my in-laws that they take the kids to the 1 o'clock club. Yes, good idea, we'll do that. I tell them it's open at 10am. Yep, great. MIL then disappears into the bathroom, reappearing just after 10am. Makes cup of coffee. Drinks coffee, makes another cup of coffee. FIL goes upstairs to brush his teeth, reappears sometime round 10.30am. Makes cup of tea. 10 minutes spent in the back garden looking up at the sky speculating on the likelihood of rain, another 10 minutes spent unpacking their suitcase to find umbrellas/raincoats.


11am I finally shoehorned them out the door, and was asked what time they needed to be back. I said around 12/12.30ish would be when they need some lunch. Darling MIL replies with "oh, that doesn't give us much time to play in the park with the children, don't you think you are being a bit unreasonable?".


I honestly think I deserve an award for managing to bite my tongue and not launch into a full on attack!


On the plus side, they are gone now!

    • It feels like it might be an extension of the summer water bombing spate. The sad thing is this could really put off some visiting the park. I really hope the council seriously consider putting some of their huge parking surplus to funding a serious and permanent warden and police presence in the park; it is needed.
    • So glad the kids that threatened your dog were spoken to. Also good to know police aware of fireworks. I heard some going off again this evening, well before dusk, so they need to get on top of this or with it getting dark earlier it may get a lot worse.

    • To put this over dramatic and somewhat gleeful post in context, the policy has not "failed at first hurdle." "It is just a temporary decision. The judge granted a pause of at least 14 days so the man, who is not being named for legal reasons and arrived in the UK on a small boat last month, could provide evidence of his claim that he has been a victim of modern day slavery." from BBC website
