It's a weight off all our minds.
In the mean time, we are getting ready for out weekend away - we are off to The Lamb in Burford tonight, and back on Sunday afternoon. The children are so self sufficient these days - all I need to do is leave enough cereal for three days worth of meals, and Kit can toast bagels. They will have the telly, and we will call each night at bedtime.
NO OF COURSE NOT! Julia and Ma will be standing in loco parentis, and the children are as excited as all-get-out about spending the night at Aunt Julia's.
And look what passes for weeds here in St Giles! They spring up unbidden everywhere, in all shapes and shades. Papaver Somniferum - a little Golden Triangle all of my very own.Oh oh and and and and! This is a slightly odd time to be blogging, I know. I really should be shopping (we might be leaving our brood in the hands of minders for the weekend, but the minders are strangely helpless when it comes to thinking what to feed the little darlings. So I have to provide a bag of food) but Jeremy lost my credit cards. Yeah! O know! It's normally me, and I have to find them while J gets Very Antsy Indeed. Oh how he hates it when I can't find my cards, even though I know they are just temporarily mislaid, rather than in the hands of some total deadbeat crim who is, even as J panics, running up large bills at the Jaguar dealership, the big fat gold jewellery shop and the off licence.
LATER - As I really did need to get the shopping done, he gave me his card, and carried on searching (to avail, thank goodness). I confined my shopping to Waitrose rather than the Jaguar dealership, the big fat gold jewellery shop and the off licence.

Well done Jeremy on the new job We will miss you in the playground!
Sylvia I think you lost your credit card on purpose so Jeremy has to pay for the shopping - don't worry I won't tell him,
Have a great weekend away together.
Hip hip hurrah for the new job, and the prospect of a joyful summer full of undercoats (or should it be overcoats given current climactic conditions?) Does this mean that the back of the house will finally be monochrome?
Greg is driven similarly insane by my inability to keep track of my keys. Bev has a tagging device on her keyring - must invest. D'you think it'd work on wallets?
Congratulations to Jeremy.
Is it a nice job? Will he enjoy doing it?
Julia, neat trick. I'm going to try that next time.
Elaine, Greg REALLY needs to take a pill. It's not as if they are ever actually lost, now, is it?
Your Maj., the job is beneath his capabilities. Nevertheless, as its a new company, he is hoping that there will be MANY opportunities to move up the career ladder.
