You know how it is.
Worked later than later last night and was woken up as usual by the Baggins at about six.
It's a little awkward here sometimes now that F is getting her bus to school at 7.50 because everyon is ready for school themselves by then and we have about 30-40 minutes of nonsense to fill which isn't really enough time to do anything useful.
Stayed in school this morning to watch the School Concert, whch was the normal fayre of cute and must-do when you're a parent, but badly performed, embarassingly bad and hopelessly organised.
Meeting in the office at 11 whch I have more or less forgotten about but means (I think) that we are very much OK to go with a five year contract in the cruise termials next year. Relief al round.
Then today its been the office dinner, which has a humbling experience. First time in this kind of position - all seven of us out to dinner at our expense, and a fascinating view of this monster we call our company. Everyone gets on so well and the food, wine and conversation just kept flowing.
I didn't get home until nearly 6pm after having far too much to drink.
Then it was all hands to the pumps to take over feeding the kids etc etc so that Tx could go out to her Christmas meal this evening by 7 o'clock. Just spent half an hour on the phone ot my sister inviting us up on Boxing Day (we now have THREE invitations...) and contemplating going downstairs to face The Lounge and all the days washing up.
Exhausting, even just writing about it.
