Day 4 - Child care

In the morning, rescued files from the old Macbook drive. Hopefully Sylvia hasn't lost anything. Also made use of Joe's tiny screwdriver to put batteries in Michael's little police helicopter. Seems like a really good toy - the blades spin, and there's an LED "searchlight" on the front. He had a great time with it.

That aside, I was just looking after the kids all day. Did manage to get out and meet up with Paco, Odra and Jesus (not that Jesus); had a nice afternoon at Second Beach. The kids are older than last time they met, and Laura and Michael seemed to be much more able to entertain each other. Good times all round, despite (or in Melissa's case, courtesy of) all the huge puddles of rain water. We have each other's numbers, definitely need to do this again some time.

And I've been getting to bed far too late this week. I need to have a shower now (another thing I need to do more often), and get a good night's sleep.

Sylvia remains unconvinced that our marriage is savable.
