Just don’t let go
Barney and Scratchy are home; both look tired but it seems both had a good time. Apparently Barney’s willingness and determination during the Saturday afternoon hike impressed the Leaders, and although he ate too many sweets and then threw up during the night, he at least managed to get his head out of the tent and over the grass before doing so. The highlight of his weekend seems to have been the abseiling:
Scratchy appears to have been a useful extra adult, much more use now that his warrant application is in since he can actually lead rather than just assisting (in theory, anyway). The other two Leaders left him to it during the abseiling - there were centre staff around, just no other adults from our group.
I spent the day doing yet more cleaning and sorting until they got back. Barney arrived home in good form, tolerated me asking him to try on a few items of clothing so I could put them away in either his room or elsewhere (depending if they fit him), looked upset when called for dinner and said he wasn’t hungry, then decided to eat after all and polished off loads. He cheered up during the meal, then went all quiet and unhappy-looking again when he went upstairs afterwards. I’m not sure what’s going on there; he says nothing happened during the camp, so maybe he’s just very, very tired.
Update: whether it was the cause of his moodiness or not, he was very, very, tired. He’s fast asleep already.
