It's an education...

The management and I have been taking turns overnight every night to keep the fires in. This means periodic crawling out of bed and shivering downstairs to feed wood on to the fire and make sure it takes and begins to burn before turning the fire right down again.

This interrupted sleep is starting to tell, having kids home every day is starting to tell.

Management is getting a bit fed up.

So anyway Bruce is due in college today so it was back to the grind except we overslept and fell out of bed in a frantic rush only to realize we had almost certainly missed her bus so she would need to go to college later. Then Branwen announced she didn't need to be in till lunch time.....

Management celebrated by dropping the cafetiere which duly shattered on the floor causing a coffee emergency - as anyone who has ever woken too early from slumber knows that's one of the worst things that can happen bar none.

High school is still closed but the primary is to open later this morning. So we discovered as we were about to leave.

Well, actually, we have to phone the school later to make sure the teachers made it in.

To sum up then, we got out of bed all of a fluster running round like headless chickens at 7.30 when we could have stayed in bed till gone nine.

The children, bar grumbling Gwion and belligerent Branwen are all in deep slumber.

I wish I was.
