Better day - 5/10!
Today was vastly better than yesterday. On a scale of 1 to 10, I think it might even deserve a 5 
Barney had a bit of a moment when he first got up - still not caught up on sleep - but George came out doing his I-will-be-a-perfect-child-today act. It didn’t last, of course, but hey, at least he tried.
In no particular order:
- the four oldest all spent time playing with the Cuisenaire rods
- all four of them disappeared, to be found in the garden next-door-but-one - I brought two back with me
- George and Jack spent about an hour skimming leaves and bugs and stuff out of the pool, but Jack only spent about ten minutes playing in it, and George didn’t get in at all
- Barney played on the computer
- we ate lunch outside again, and fended off more wasps 
- they spent time playing with neighbourhood friends: N and B (boys), G, E and H (girls). Even anti-girl Freddy.
- at lunch, Barney asked what job I thought he should have. I said I didn’t know, and asked him what he thought. That led into a conversation about careers. Barney wants to do something in robotics. George wants to be a scientist. Freddy wants to teach babies how to talk properly.
- I did get the bug-screen up on the conservatory door, and it works pretty well - not as good as a proper screen door, but not bad
- Toby and I fell asleep in the garden late in the afternoon
- after dinner, N and B came over and they all watched a movie, trashed the living-room, and tidied it up again 
Swimming week starts tomorrow, so we’ll have to get organised with swimsuits and towels right after breakfast.
