turpsIn the space of a few minutes I got an email from Rosie saying class was cancelled today. A message from Kayleigh saying she'd taken Bodhi to nursery, and it was actually closed for a teacher training day, and one from James saying he'd slipped in the toilets at work and banged his head.
So, now I have a free morning but am both expecting a request to Bodhisit, and for James saying he's coming home.
The slip in the toilet annoys me. The disabled toilet James uses also contains a shower the staff can use, and when people do so they never seem to mop the floor properly and leave it slippery, which is a disaster combination. It'll all officially get written up, but whoever decided to put an open shower in the disabled toilet is an idiot. It's not like it's a cubical either, it's literally a shower in the corner of the room surrounded by a curtain.
It was our wedding anniversary yesterday. We don't celebrate as such, but did go out for Sunday lunch to Prego and as always the food was delicious. Apart from that it was the usual grocery shopping and getting ready for the week. I was looking at some of our wedding photos that came up on my phone memories, and so much has changed since then, including the loss of mam, my FiL and nanna. I still laugh at nanna being in every photo, she planted herself in a comfy chair and wasn't about to move, no matter what family grouping was being arranged. But, she was late 90s then, so deserved that chair. I do miss her, she was one of a kind and such a wonderful woman and nanna.
Saturday we went back to Beamish and did the last part we've never walked before. What we didn't know before heading there was it was a big transport event, add that to it being a sunny, warm day and one of the last days of the school half-term holidays. Well, it made for a very busy Beamish. Thankfully, with it being such a big site people spread out and there were only crowds and queues around the main shops/cafes, so we bypassed those altogether. We did get to ride on the steam train, which was a 30-minute queue for a five-minute ride. But, it was fun, and not a hardship to wait.
Saturday evening was the season finale of Doctor Who and all I can say is, I wasn't happy. I watched all the Christopher Eccleston, David Tennant and Matt Smith eps, then stopped watching until Ncuti Gatwa who reignited my DW love. So yeah, I didn't enjoy that episode at all, for many reasons.
And, there's the message from James to say he's been sent home. Nothing from Kayleigh yet, so one of them must be off today. Now, lets hope I haven't just jinxed myself.

Your visit to Beamish sounds just as lovely as always despite the crows.
From what I've read about it the DW season finale sounds like a complete mess!

A belated happy anniversary to you both! When you're as old as your nanna was you're totally allowed to be and do whatever you want :-)
Thank you! And you're so right about nanna, she did what she wanted, when she wanted *g*
We've actually been to Beamish again today. It's such a lovely place to go walking, and always something new to see.
As for the DW finale, mess is the right word.
