Child and Parent Show

I've had a busy but enjoyable weekend. I went to help on the IMAC stand at the Parent and Child Show. It was flat out talking (yes, I know, I'm well practiced!) but but late Saturday I was losing my voice! A few people made comments like 'It was worth the entry fee just to hear what you have said' or 'Speaking to you made coming here today worth it' which of course made it worthhile for us too. I get to speak to lots of health professionals but very few parents in my job so it was good to have that contact.

I stayed with Beth and Graham again and as usual they thoroughly spoilt me and made me feel so welcome. Beth cooked a Fujian fish curry. I was a bit sceptical as I watched her mash bananas for it but it was very nice. Luke, their son, always gives me the biggest hugs I've ever had from a child and is quite delightful. Beth and I talked about house swapping sometime so we could do the city thing and they could do the country thing.

Have just asked the family what needs to be reported. Harriette wants the world to know she has a sore tail bone, and the meanest mother who won't write her a note to get her out of fitness. My argument is her problem is sitting and I can't think of any fitness activity that involves prolonged sitting! And how did she get this sore bum? Going over bumps too fast while pillion to Sarah on the, bigger, farm bike.

I'm am being hassled. The children are staying at R+R's tonight as I am going into hospital for the day tomorrow and have to be there at 7.30am!! (Nothing serious, girlie things). Getting me into Hamilton and the girls to school at the same time is impossible so R+R have come to the rescue. H is going back their after school so Eric only has to pick A up and get her to horse-riding on time. Lets see!!!!!!

I'll go now and fill in the gaps next time. To remind myself, the last of the pig milk and the tooth fairy.
