Babysitting

[Saturday 7th June]
In the morning we took Simon and his friend Rich out to our favourite nearby greasy spoon for an English breakfast. They were both at a bit of a loose end for the rest of the day, so we decided to hang around with them for the early afternoon. We walked into the centre of London, stopping off at a couple of my favourite pubs en route - the Ship and Shovell, and the Lamb and Flag.

After saying goodbye to Simon and Rich, Chie and me did a quick bit of shopping before heading back home to get some things together, and then got the train down to Guildford. As it was my brother's birthday this week we'd arranged to babysit the kids, so him and Liz could go out to the cinema.

Had a very nice meal at Adrian and Liz's house, sitting outside in the rather spacious back garden at their new house. They did home made miniature pizzas, made from scratch, which were quite superb - the dough came out extremely well.

After dinner they got the kids ready for bed, and then went out for the evening. The kids were no trouble at all, we read them all stories and they all went to sleep quite happily.

Not sure why people make such a big deal about parenting, seem easy to me!

(ok, before you all flood this entry with your "oh wait 'til you have kids" comments yes this was meant flippantly)

Nice one, John.
