Back to normality

Now the summer holidays are over. On Thursday, the children had to go back to school first, then today, and now they are having the first weekend of the new year in school. How relaxing! Just imagine they had started on a Monday! They would have had to go for a full week before the much yearned after weekend would have come! "Oh groan!" (quoting them!)

Much yearned after? After six weeks of summer holidays. Yes.
Neither of the two is too happy about having to get up as early as six again every morning, and neither is too happy about their time-table and all the other activities that are being resumed, too. Like her regular swimming for my daughter. So far she's been to the pool for training on Wednesday (twice), on Thursday (twice), today (once - so far, we'll set out again in an hour from now), and she is also planning to go twice tomorrow.

Which means that I am back to my normal activity as daughter-chauffeur, for the pool is at about 10 or 11 miles from here. Well-well.

But who knows --- now that my son's taken up his first classes that are supposed to eventually lead him to being able (and licenced) to drive a car himself, we might share this job among us "soon"? We shall see...
