I’m off to see my father in hospital.  My mother said that this week he was attached to seven wires and five bags.  Not good.

I dropped my daughter off at school this morning.  She’s got a detention today.  She told me that her punishment involved watering the Cannabis plants in the biology lab.  Surely not.

Kids off to their dad’s new house to swim all bank holiday weekend in their new pool.  I am making plans to turn my back garden into a theme park of some description.  Maybe I’ll put a pool in too.  Or a zoo.  Or a helter-skelter.  Or maybe all three.  Not sure yet.

Competitive divorce parent?  Moi?

    Sorry to hear about your father. I hope there’s some positive news soon.

    I like the idea of a theme park in the garden. I’m thinking zip wires into the pool with an underground aquarium and maybe a parade every day at noon?
