Let me go back to Saturday, but this being last week. I had to work in the morning, and also moonlight in the evening. But at lunch, I got to meet up with the kids who were going to the Colchester Free Festival. Where we live, there are many people called Jo (I do think my wife befriends them as she knows it confuses me) but there is only one Jo (no offense meant to the many other Jo's that we know). Anyway, she was involved in the kids section of the festival telling stories in the story wigwam. There were loads of volunteers, many of whom spent loads more time there than my wife did, and they were much appreciated. After her stint there, where she was heckled by a seven year old, we went round the rest of the festival, enjoying things like the human jukebox, making postcards, going for a donkey ride, face painting, and the human fruit machine.
On Sunday, my wife had a much deserved, but not needed beauty treatment. I say not needed, because she is gorgeous. While she was being pampered, I took the kids to the park in town. They had a great time, and loved the helter-skelter. After lunch in town, we went back to the park, which needless to say, they liked (okay, that is an understatement).
On Wednesday, due to only working in the morning, I surprised by daughter by picking her up from school. If all goes well with an interview I had the week before, I might get to do that more often. I was in a good mood then thanks to the result in the game the night before. A shame that we dropped two points the game before against Sunderland, let alone the loss yesterday. While we were unlucky at times going forwards, the big problem was that our midfield just stood back and watched as the West Brom players ran through us. With a lack of team defending like that, it was no wonder that we went three goals down.
Anyway, I hope you like the joke...
Went to the planetarium with my family this afternoon.
Imagine my wife's surprise when she discovered she's not the centre of the universe!
