Trying Days
No blog last night because I was too busy having one of those heavy discussions with Scratchy. But there wasn’t a lot to say about yesterday anyway. Barney, George and Freddy went off to the leisure centre for another try-stuff day. I’m told that George chose not to participate in trampoline, despite having spent two hours every Saturday at trampoline club since last September - admittedly that had its ups and downs (har har, I didn’t really intend that LOL), but generally he enjoyed it and is quite good. I wonder if perhaps they were doing stuff he already knew; that’s the kind of thing that would put him off. He also said that the coach said he was too small to do a somersault - which, since he actually can do somersaults, was a very presumptuous thing to say, and would certainly be the type of thing to get George’s back up.
Barney, on the other hand, said that trampolining was his favourite activity yesterday. He’s the kid that dropped out of trampoline club after the first few weeks. Sheesh.
I got so bored at home with only two kids that I went shopping. Only groceries, so not very exciting, but it killed an hour or two, and I did buy myself a sun-hat. Of course that probably means there won’t be any more sunny days 
As I said, long chat with Scratchy last night - I won’t bore you with all the details, but it was well overdue. I hope it has some improving effect on the things that need improving anyway. As it turns out, it’s just as well we talked last night, because I had an email this morning to say that Scratchy’s grandfather in New York has had a stroke and isn’t likely to survive more than days - possibly much less than that. So it looks like a trip to NYC is on the cards for Scratchy, and not a pleasant one

Sorry to hear about Scratchy’s grandad.
Hope you are having a good day otherwise.
