Another interesting day today. I helped a local school with mock interviews to prepare the students for the real thing and I found it rewarding. The children have both had to attend birthday parties (though my daughter forgot to take the present to the party she went to) and at present, my son, who got to try on some contact lenses earlier today is at a sleep over (brave parents) while my daughter is watching the X factor with us. We do prefer Strictly though but I am impressed with two of the acts. The kids do love each other and do bicker at times, but my daughter loves being able to snuggle with us without having her brother here. And while we do miss him, it is nice to have that time with her. In fact, while I type this, she is stroking the hair that remains on my head!
Last of all, an update on chess. I finished joint first in the We Love Groot tournament. But I am not going to do that well in a few others!
