Tuesday is the new Monday

Bit behind in this writing - this is really about Monday!

With Miss A finished at pre-school, we are officially on Summer Holidays. Those 6 weeks apparently dreaded by parents - what to do with the children all day - how to entertain them. Miss A had expressed interest in swimming lessons, so knowing that it's best if I do what I'm told, I duly booked a week of intensive lessons. (Apparently these are good for getting started). First lesson on Monday. A good start - she got in the pool. And stayed in the pool. Mostly. And even put her head under the water.

The next excitement of the day was using the new Click and Collect system at our local Tesco. A bit like a concierge, you tap in a shopping list online, they trundle round the store, pick out everything you want, and when you turn up in your car, they load it in. Brilliant!! For free!! The first man came out and I said 'oh do you have my shopping?' and he said 'No, I've just come to look at your car' The perils of being in a slightly unusual 1963 Morris Minor.

Back home, friends S, P, A and C came for lunch which was great as we hadn't seen them for 2 years since they moved 'up north'. Phone calls and photos just aren't quite the same, and we miss them a lot.

Tea was Miss A's choice of roasted vegetables with broccoli, butter beans and a cheese sauce. Misses A and I very keen on roasted carrots. I had a polite portion as then headed over to Arundel to meet old friends C and H. That's old as in known them a long time, not age-related. Great to have an evening out of good food and laughter.
