The girls were having fun with friends

Catching up with my journal whilst recovering from the jet lag from our holiday as the girls were having fun with friends until Debbie had to see the dentist.

I woke myself at 7.30am this morning but my body was still achy and leaden with the remaining effects of my jet-lag from which I had yet to fully recover. A long walk with the dog after which the others had finished their breakfast by the time I had returned for some croissants. Della had stayed away at her friend Katie Morris's house last night but arrived as I ate and had easily survived the experience. I checked the pool and then sat in the lounge and had my coffee whilst getting Debbie to help Della and Katie build a house out of Quadro building tubes. There were many girl visitors today but at least the children are appreciating our house and gardens at The Hayling View.

Diana was at her slimming club this morning despite having caught a rather bad cough, but we were pleased and relieved to find that she had not put on the weight that I had thought she had over our recent holiday (which just goes to show that she had put it on beforehand!). I joined the family and their visitors for lunch at the Little Paxton Little Chef and was then dropped back home for the afternoon whilst Diana took Debbie to Kimbolton to get more dental work done on her teeth. I spent much of the afternoon and evening working on my journal, transcribing the hand-written notes from America and then drafting the March summary but I broke off later and packed up the car for tomorrow. I also drove it into St Neots for a car wash and to Southoe to fill up with fuel, air, water and oil in view of its delayed service.
