First - something I forgot to mention yesterday when I said the heat was back on.
The guy who delivered the oil came in to see if he could prime the pump. He came through the kitchen, and into the garage, and turned and looked at the big white box, and said, “I don’t know much about these burners.”
And I replied, “That’s a freezer.”
“Oh,” he said, “I thought it was.”
Anyway - on to today. We got up and used the new-and-super food processor
to make smoothies for breakfast, then the boys did some work. Barney woke up in a foul mood - he was up late on Sunday because he chose to lie in bed occasionally making what he thought were clever remarks rather than go to sleep, then he was up late on Monday because of the “sleepover”, then he stayed up late reading last night. When he doesn’t get enough sleep, he’s miserable - and the rest of us pay too - and I’d warned him last night that he shouldn’t expect me to cut him any slack if he chooses to stay up late. When he had fought with everyone within five minutes of waking today, I told him he was going to bed early tonight. Tonight is Scouts night, and Scouts doesn’t finish until 9.30, so early-bed meant no-Scouts. I don’t think he took me seriously, and I knew I’d be tempted to give in, so I phoned Scratchy and asked him to make sure I didn’t
This afternoon was spent doing - well, I don’t know what, but I must have done something!
George had Cub Scouts tonight, which he declared “brilliant”. Right now it’s very quiet - I do think that some of my children might actually be asleep!
