So yesterday was another one of those delicious days! 

The weather couldn’t make up its mind and went from severe gusts of wind a la Mary Poppins (if you know, you know) to dazzling sunshine. Attire for football – dry robe, umbrella, sunglasses! Me, not the boys, that would definitely have hindered their performance. 

Both boys played in the first team, Oli’s debut. We’re thinking the coaches were being kind to enable me to watch them both play as the matches were at the same time. We’re hoping that Oli might have earned his spot.

Unfortunately the other side was full of rude, angry little monsters, but Worle Fc retaliated by winning 6:2. As Oli said to one of the brats he walked past “that will teach you!”

We got home in time for a quick shower, spot of lunch and family Grow a Garden event session which didn’t disappoint. 

We must have been having oodles of fun, because time flew past. 

Lee was going to a work friends wedding reception. Harry wouldn’t let me go. We’re still working on the ADHD attachment issues. 

So I planned our evening with meticulous care. We’d drop Lee in to town, then go on to pick up our Indian take away and then munch it down in the lounge watching Strictly Come Dancing. Well, Harry would be playing Fortnite but in the same room as us and they were allowed to stay up until 10pm!! Bed time is 8pm so this was a real treat. 

Everything was going well, Lee was looking a little bit too handsome for my liking and I’d forgotten to feed him something super smelly. 

Disaster hit when we stopped by Poppadoms to pick up our grub. It wasn’t ready, wouldn’t be ready for at least 20 minutes. 

It was then I realised how hungry I was!

Luckily I contained my hanger until I got back to the car.

I went into melt down mode. My brain couldn’t handle it. It was like my Tetris had got out of sync and now nothing would fit in to place. 

Harry came to my aid. 

“Come on Mum, let’s go to the beach, burn off some time, then our food will be ready before you know it”

Oli chimed in that he thought this was a good idea too so without a thought, off we went to Sand Bay.

The sun was setting and there was a row of pink fluffy candyfloss clouds. We drove the whole way along the front and then decided to pop into the first car park on the corner, mainly because Harry needed a wee. 

We were surprised there were so many other cars in there so Harry had to run further a field to find some privacy. 

We had a run around on the beach, in the wind and the tide was in so it looked all sparkly. 

There’s a bit of a drop at the beginning and Oli shouted to Harry that they should reenact a scene from Titanic, Oli getting to be Rose and Harry Jack. I wasn’t so sure I would trust a child with ADHD and Dyspraxia behind me on a ledge whilst he was mid hypo, but hey ho. 

I’m still wondering when Oli would have watched Titanic! 

Anyways our 20 minutes were soon swallowed up and it was time to head back to the car. 

That’s when I could smell the distinct aroma of weed. 

We were walking towards the cars, all in a line, facing our way, windows steamed up and some rocking. 

Oh dear, we’d hit a dogging site! 

“Come on boys, back in the car, super quick before our Indian gets cold!”

The rest of our night didn’t disappoint and it still didn’t stop Harry from getting up at 06:00!! Happy Sunday x

Love and hugs, kisses and wishes xxx
