Holiday over

We got back from two weeks in Zakynthos on Friday. The weather was very good for the time of year – we were never trapped indoors for more than 2-3 hours, and the wise purchase of a netbook loaded with movies and TV helped to ease that pain – so we’ve all come back gently tanned, except for Sam who can go brown while wearing an anorak. The kids made friends with a couple of lovely girls, so they all managed to keep each other entertained quite nicely. They’re coincidentally from near Grandma, so we’re hoping to arrange a meet-up for them when they’re next in the North.

In other news we had Lauren’s parent-teacher meeting this week, and everything was very good. My mum used to say she didn’t really like such events, because my big girly swot nature meant that the teacher said everything was great, and then there wasn’t really anything else to say. I’m starting to understand what she meant…
