whale of a time!
I bought a paddling pool yesterday to celebrate the fact taht we now have a garden fit to use one in! It’s whale shaped with a tail that curves up over the top of it which provide endless oportunities for bouncing, leaping and sliding. At one point there were 5 little girls in it which really was several too many! There was also pre-camp shopping and a small ammount of packing done, mainly to ensure that she doens’t get any camp clothing grubby between now and Saturday morning. I need to nip to the Guide shop this evening to get her First Aid badge as she has now passed that after a very light hearted but thorough testing by Lola and of course that has to be sewn on before weekend! Then the gilet can be packed too.
Day was slightly spoilt by me being struck down with a migraine at tea time and needing to retire to bed with a succession of cold wet flannels over my face whilst waiting for the coctail of drugs provided by Duke to start working. Mind you, I’m not entirely sure it wasn’t the thunder storm finally breaking that cured me!
