rebellion

Grace started her swimming lessons at the Commonwealth Pool this morning - at 8.30! This sounds early - but we'd been up for some time by the time we'd got there. There were plenty of folk there too! It's a new class, and she didn't seem all that keen to start with - but was soon having a great time.

I got back to take Joseph out - who at thta point was climbing up the walls. Foolishly I thought we could go to Starbucks wheer I might at least be able to read the sport section of the paper.....this didn't happen.

We decided to skip church for the first time in I don't know how long - but instead headed out to North Berwick wheer we briefly ewalekd along the beach before getting the inevitable ice cream. Dropped a present off for Hamish on the way home while the kids slept - but made schoolboy error of not giving Joseph enough time to sleep in the car. As it was, when Cat popped out for an hour Joseph, Poppy and I were all nearly in tears, and I wasn't the most sociaable person when Jeannie came as I was in a big grump.

I went for a run round Arthur's Seat with Phil which was what I needed -and broke the magic 30 minte barrier (29:59)!
