Or, at least, it should have been. But Amber had a couple of friends around for a sleepover and so round about 07:30 we had a herd of elephants stampeding around the house. And as I sleep underneath the TV room, then by about 07:31 I was wide-awake. So much for my long lie-in after yesterday’s efforts.
By about 10:00 everyone else was awake and we had a nice, long breakfast brunch en famille and once we had finished (and it wasn’t a five-minute affair either) I did … errr … absolutely nothing at all except have a hot shower and help Rachel with a few tasks around the house. And in return, Rachel made me a delicious curry for tea, and that went down well.
Well, that’s not really true. One of the girls brought a cake-making set for Amber – the type that you cook in the oven in small cups, put sticks in and then pour chocolate over the top. Amber had some difficulty melting the chocolate and so I became involved. A bain-marie and some cold water and I made quite a good liquid chocolate for her cakes.
That was everything, and I was in bed by 22:30 for an early night. I can’t say that I didn’t deserve it. I have to be up early tomorrow.
