On Friday Miss Hickett went to a 'goodbye to the junior school' evening when the whole class went in two stretch-limos with non alcoholic champagne (not my choice of description or beverage for that matter!) and after an hour driving around the city found themselves back at school for supper and a disco - it took many an hour to decide on an outfit but eventually a blue dress and white matinee jacket was selected and with curly hair and new sandals she was off and had a lovely time.
Next evening was Jamax's turn but he selected the first two items in the first drawer he opened, washed his hair and departed all in about 20 minutes for a friend's 14th birthday disco.
On Sunday along with a cousin all the family went to the cinema to see the Harry Potter film.
I suspected the scenario would be - 2 men fast asleep, 1 boy stuffing popcorn whilst the other drank copious amounts of 'coke' which would be followed by many journeys to the loo and one girlie sitting like a stone, gazing raptly at the screen; attention never wavering for a couple of hours. I would be at home with the Sunday newspapers and a book with
coffee on tap and not a sound in the house. What really happened was the whole gang
loved the film and no one went to sleep - not even grandad! I did not have a quiet and
peaceful afternoon as my sister in law skyped from South Africa, followed by a friend from Sydney and lastly a call from Spain; by the time they returned I was exhausted but there was little I did not know!
