Anyway, turns out today is Saturday! And this weekend is Easter. The kids are actually really on school holiday and the camp site has filled up with mad dogs and englishmen who think it is warm enough to camp in England at Easter!
So no real gems or insights about travelling today, just a few random things that have made me laugh or have stuck in my mind over the last few days:
- A very hopeful speed camera sign - realistically when it is placed next to four signs that say "queues likely", there is not going to be a whole load of revenue gathering going on!
- That after a week and a half away you get a text from your daughter's school asking why she is not at school! (ok that's good really that they are still checking!).
- That a groundsman has no right to yell at a kid for trying to get a tractor to start when said groundsman left the tractor bang smack in the middle of the kids playground with the keys still in the ignition (twice) - not my kid by the way.
- And the diplomacy of my daughter who calmly announced to that child's parents that their child "may or may not be trying to drive the tractor".
- It is entirely possible to make your mum laugh by convincing her that you can't row a boat and making it go in circles for 10 minutes.
- And that no matter how awesome a grandad you are - if you cannot drive a car safely no one will want to get in a rowing boat with you! Including the dog.
- That it is true that friends can go for years without speaking but then just pick up where they left off just like it was yesterday when they last met.
- That if your child loves chickens no matter how many signs say "please do not handle the chickens" she will pick them up and cuddle them anyway! And you will take photos of her doing it!
- That because your husband is mildly confused about what day it is (see above) that he will wish you Happy Anniversary every day to make sure he gets it right! It's tomorrow - Happy 18th Wedding Anniversary, Stig xxx!
Happy Easter everyone else!
