I went walking on my own this morning, as Nick was going to go a bit later and swim. He’s been swimming quite often these past few weeks, getting his fitness levels up again. We crossed paths as I was on my way home, which was nice! School went off smoothly enough, despite only finishing at about 1 pm, after lunch. We were introduced to King Xerxes, who invaded Greece simply to avenge a previous defeat of his father’s army…the same Xerxes who was married to Esther! Interesting when history meets Bible. After school the boys watched another two or three episodes of BBC’s Narnia. Nick needed to quickly go collect his guitar and music equipment from Tammy, and I went with him, just for fun. We had a cup of tea together – Tammy always has much to say and is quite interesting. Caleb stood on a tiny fragment of glass outside during the afternoon, so there was a bit of drama trying to get his foot washed to inspect the damage, ascertain that there was something in it, and remove it with tweezers – this had to be done under threat of paternal discipline! It was very easy to remove – came straight out on the first attempt – but shame, he was very scared that he’d be hurt.
The ship is running about six days behind schedule – they anticipate that it will only be back on schedule after its UK run in October! It was supposed to be getting back here on 16 July after its two week dry-dock, but it will be late. That means that supplies will probably run low. Already there is a very meagre selection of biscuits at Thorpes, and shelves generally look a bit depleted in all shops.
