On Tuesday Gina had to go back to wor, but the nursery where Gabby goes was closed. I happily took a day’s holiday to look after her and we had a really nice day. She is a joy to look after really.
After taking the others to school (when Gabby is the most organised and actually got the others their shoes; oops Daddy forgot the PE kit) we had a quick drink (water/tea) and then went off to the playground where Gabby enjoyed the swing and slide.
Then we simply chilled in the garden until lunch. I might go on about the weather but it does mean that you can get out of the house a lot.[1] Gabby really loves the garden and potters about in it far more than the others. She’ll stay out all day if you’d let her.
Then lunch and a nap. A two hour nap. Daddy got a lot done in those two hours — two episodes of Heroes and one Battlestar Galactia 
Finally we picked up the others and headed off to another park where we had more swinging and more slides (Ryan was doing “power” slide - is that Power Ranger thing?).
Mummy came home and then it was dinner, followed by bed time.
Then I got to watch the football.
[1] Can’t say that will be the case in July when it really will be too hot to leave the house.
