Late addition for yesterday as it was much like Day 23 but for a slightly different dynamic.

Mrs C decided that a couple of days from the monitor while the kids are at home and the sun is out would be worthwhile use of her time. Consequently, she had a mummy-daughter day (that doesn't work so well without alliteration) with sprinklings of son - garden games, phone memes, tidying up the weekend's work, film night.

Bit of a Day 7 today. Food delivery with very few items unavailable, made a mac and cheese which I rarely do but Mrs C loves and which I had myself and it was tidy and I'm not talking to the dog because she launched into a bite (stopped herself as she was about to sink in) late last night because I was playing air guitar to Won't Get Fooled Again as it rang out at the start of CSI somewhere or other.

Mrs C and the kids blitzed the garden today. Son went spare on a tree that grew happenstance from a seed from a now disappeared tree that used to hang over from the house that backs on to our back. It is now an ex-tree.

Daughter went nuts at the spiky shrub in the corner which I quite like and the dog has a little 'den' in there. She also hacked at the neighbours' creeping brambles (on two of three sides) and Mrs C was in and out the same and like jobs with them.
