James (pictured above) asked if i’d like to go paintballing with him and various chums (who it turned out he actually didn’t know either). i thought that would be a good plan (despite having no desire to be shot at or shoot anyone else for that matter).
it wasn’t totally dreadful.
i left home at 8am and got home at 2pm. which was 4 hours longer than expected. i was stuck though as we all went in one car so no one could leave early.
meanwhile jane and the girls madly tidied the house for 6 hours not knowing when i’d be back (they also went food shopping at some point). they were tidying up for afternoon tea because i’d invited two families back from work. at one point it did appear like i may not actually get back in time to be there, but all was good.
and the girls did a fantastic job at tidying which reminded them of the misery of open homes which we haven’t had to suffer for the last month.
then when everyone had gone which watched gulliver’s travels (the recent version). all anyone has eaten today is party food.
