cuddly sort of day
There was much tiredness today both from Aprilia, who had come home at 10pm from Emmie’s with MORE Brownie uniform (Emmie being a Guide now), and from me, who had been up close and personal with the GAviscon bottle several times last night in the vain hope of dulling the heart burn enough to let me nod off, and thus we came straight home after Kung Fu rather than staying for the usual half hour or so playing. I had also managed to overbalance during training and twist my knee in the process (which serves me right for not doing my physio doesn’t it) so Aprilia was under strict instructions from Sibok (instructor) to pamper me for the rest of the day. So we snuggled on the sofa and she valiently tried to teach me how to play Mario Bros on the DS. She gave up after a few hours and we watched lots of episodes of Dr Who series one instead. She is beginning to learn that it’s not compulsary to know what is going on right away and that sometimes I’m not going to explain the significance of things to her but say "wait and see!"
We had a go at making a "posh desert like in restaurants" at tea time and produced "Pears Helene" (sort of) she made really neat work of fanning the tinned pears and arranging them on the plates but squirty cream really doens’t cut it and we aren’t that good at "drizzling" the chocolate sauce either but it was still suitably "posh" and she was happy. And it tasted pretty good too although we both agree that "Peaches Helene" would be even better.
I filled in the latest "consultation" on line and was suitably pointed about the final question which went above and beyond "leading" and landed squarely in "inflamatory" Mutter mutter. Would be interested to know what the 60 questions they are asking the "important" people are and how leading they are. No, actually I wouldn’t, I’ll just get cross won’t I? And I’m not pretty when I’m cross…. okay, I’m not pretty anyway, but I’m worse when I’m cross!
