Pleasantly varied sort of day!
This morning we had kung fu, Aprilia’s normal teacher was away on holiday so the kids had the adult’s usual teacher and we had one of our senior members who also does lots of other combat sports and decided to make use of the nicely padded play area and do a bit of jujitsu with us for a change! I was pretty surprised to see I can still remember how to break fall 20 years after giving up judo (got fed up of being black and blue, I was rubbish at it but did enjoy it!) I seemed to be the only one not going "oof!" on landing
I’m not used to being better than anyone on a Saturday morning, I’m usually that daft woman they all humour and who makes for an interesting training partner by reason of being much closer to the floor than them and making them aim their punches much more carefully and defend against much lower attacks
From there we went to the library because we forgot yesterday, and traded up to the next Harry Potter audio book and got home to find 2 lovely bright orange wallets on the doormat - our first audio books from Calibre - which was very exciting although Aprilia’s randome allocation weren’t as thrilling as mine, I’ve set her up with a requested reading list which should mean that the next ones are more to her taste although I do want her to get random books too so she gets to encounter a few different authors.
Then this afternoon I swapped with Duke at Oulton adn sat drinking tea all afternoon doing very little, ah, bliss. We swapped because Duke was supposed to be on call with Red Cross tonight but found out that they had given him the wrong date
but never mind I got a quiet afternoon and Aprilia got some Daddy time.
And this evening we have sat very comfortably with laptops watching telly. Very pleasant day.
