Tea? (Part 2)

[ianrauk]

Mrs Ian is back to work August.
She will also be doing a 4 day week. Though different to my day. She will have Mummy/Henry day. She will find it a big wrench to leave him as it's her first child and as you can imagine, utterly dotes on him.

Henry will be going to a baby minder for 2 days a week. The MIL for 1 day of the week. Us for 2 days. So should work out quite well.

 

[Speicher]

Yes, it should. Henry will meet "strangers" and kiddies his age. MIL will enjoy her day with Henry, and both parents less stressed, more time for family. Sounds lovely.

I can imagine the wrench it will be for Mrs Ian. Expect lots of phone calls to start with perhaps?

 

[ianrauk]

Well she has been dropping Henry off at the baby minder for 4 hours one day a week. Last week and yesterday, so they get to know each other. Mrs Ian said of last week that the 4 hours felt like 40 hours. Yesterday was a little better and she felt a little calmer about leaving him.

And what is good is that the baby minder has a web cam. So I can log on at any time to see how Henry is doing. Isn't technology marvellous?

Tea please. I just had a minor run in of the 'dopey cyclist turns right without looking just as I am overtaking them' kind, and need my nerves steadying.

Very cute Henry picture Ian!

Very cute indeed Mr Ian. Enjoy - they grow so fast you will find.

 

[Arch]

Cheers. I'm off the adrenalin now - thought I was going over for a minute, with a bus oncoming....

Top up anyone?

 

[ianrauk]

Don't have to tell me mate.. older one is now 23

Tea anyone?

Just had a verbal run in with a mobile phone using Range Rover driver, so I'm high on adrenaline.

 

[Landslide]

Morning all!

Arch, whatever you do, don't try my tactic for stopping Range Rovers...
And yes, a cuppa'd be most welcome

Oh, do tell....

I'll put the kettle on...

You know what her 'excuse' was, when challenged? She'd seen me filtering up, and moved over (about a foot, not enough) to let me through. This apparently made her a far superior driver to everyone else anyway. I should have come past and gone on my way and minded my own business.

Of course, where I'd have gone after filtering past her, assuming I wanted to scoot alongside someone ON THE PHONE, with a Securicor van filling the lane in front of her, I don't know.

I wish I'd had my camera.

 

[Landslide]

Oh, do tell...

Ahem...

 

[Arch]

Ouch!

I'm worried now. After my collision with the right-turning cyclist yesterday, and this woman this morning, what's number three going to be?

Or can I count the fact that I just had to throw away the first tea I made, because the milk was off?

 

[Landslide]

Yeah, I reckon that counts as number three...

 

[mr Mag00]

any tea on brew?

 

[Arch]

Good, because after a lucky escape, and a verbal row, the only thing left was an actual injury...

(And it turned out we had new milk anyway)
