It's Friday!

My favourite day of the week.

Tom is on a field trip today so I dropped him off this morning at the pick up point where he'd arranged to meet his colleagues, then I took the girls to school. After that I went and had coffee with another Mum from their school. At her place. For 3 hours. We had a lot to say.

With half my day gone I headed home and on the way stopped at the PO box to check the mail only to find - to my great excitement - a parcel from my sister!!! I came home and tore it apart and found lots of Halloween goodies for the children (we don't really 'do' Halloween in this country so it's a big treat for them to get stuff from America). I got some Reece's peanut butter cups (I will not be sharing) as well as some hand knitted socks (she makes AMAZING socks) and some summer tops. Thanks again M!

I can't take any photos because Tom has the camera with him today. I tried the old camera and can't get it to work - it appears that it has finally died completely.

So as I sit here writing this I realise that I have to go and get the girls in half an hour and I haven't done any of the work that I'd planned to do today. However I'm not going to feel guilty because it's not very often that I shirk my duties by gallavanting about having coffee and collecting parcels. It's also not as if I won't do any work today...I have two children after all.
