Not done anything so far this AM partly because my hip is quite painful this morning. I may have over done the walking especially the walking without a crutch. I’m trying presently to decide whether to ride or walk, in need of beer, to Asda! Decisions decisions, the walk or ride question means I can empathise with the predicament the CEO of BP finds himself in. Not forgetting, also, the plight of the Chairman!
Nat was home earlier than normal, around 2:45, because the school finishes for the day at 2;15 instead of 3:15 on Fridays . THis meant there was time for him to change before we went to Millfield. The school fair was just the same as usual and by the time we arrived the locusts had bought most of the stuff there. I think it must have started before the close of school because we were there at almost precisely 3:15. Certainly Han appeared to have spent all her money by then. We wandered, bought some raffle tickets, played the Wii math challenge in Mr Jordan’s class until final Han, Nat, Jacob and I walked to the chip shop which wasn’t yet open. Deb met us there, she’d been delayed in traffic, and we took Jacob home with us to play on Nat’s X-Box. While they were upstairs Deb finished packing Han’s case then almost ruptured herself trying to close it!
Han was due at camp for 6:45 so Deb took the three of them to the chippie at 5:30 and dropped Jacob off at his home. At 6:00 we all piled into the car and drove to the Oaks Camp Site:
We had dropped Nat off here before so we found it quite easily; we were there for 6:30, dropped of Han with Arkala who introduced her to Charlie, the girl she was sharing a tent with, took a “few” photos
(I’ll get more on Sunday) and left her to it. We drove home (I bought pie and chips from the Chippie that Deb and I shared) and spotted Donna's car ahead of us heading home, no doubt, to watch England playing Algeria in the World Cup. We followed her home and here is a photo of her decorated house:
The woman's a fanatic and just couldn't understand that we weren't interested and wouldn't be watching the match. As Deb said, "the balls the wrong shape". In fact, whilst none of us are interested in football, we watched the last 20 minutes waiting for BB11 to start. Is it the new ball, that everyone’s complaining about, that’s at fault? It certainly looked, to my untrained eye, as if it might be; kicks seemed to be all over the place. Anyway the final result was 0:0 draw and the recriminations started immediately. This just doesn't happen in Rugby! Next day I had the BBC News Channel on and it seemed like all they reported on was England's disappointing performance; get a life Britain!
Finally, we watched BB11 and it turned out that poor old Beyonce lookalike Rachael was given the boot; I imagine the Aussie John James is happy now. I stayed up late and caught up on recorded TV.
