Today will be a boring day. I only realise how much I\u2019ve grown to enjoy going swimming on a Tuesday when I have a Tuesday without it. I\u2019m on a prescription of total rest until my back is better, which means no swimming. At least it stops the others arguing about who gets to go. Shadow and Ari will be swimming, which has certainly made Shadow happy. The worst part is that I\u2019ve really got rather used to having Shadow around with me during the day. For heaven\u2019s sake don\u2019t tell her that I like her company, but I think it has done us both good. Now I\u2019m faced with a morning when not only can I not get out to go swimming, but I don\u2019t have Shadow to spend the morning with either.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ari had a check-up on his bottom yesterday. I know he\u2019d rather I didn\u2019t talk about it, but he\u2019s going swimming so what do I care? Anyway, there has been an improvement so he is only going to need the cream applying for another couple of days. Then he\u2019s got to leave it and see how it goes. He\u2019s really very good about it all, but he\u2019d much rather not have to be prodded quite so much.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It\u2019s funny, he\u2019s got a fatty lump on his chest in exactly the same place as his mum, Shadow has. Our Mistress hasn\u2019t had it checked out as she is certain it\u2019s only a fatty lump. She said \u2018You know what it\u2019s like with children. With the first you check everything. With the second you are a little more relaxed and by the third you just let them get on with it.\u2019 Of course on that basis I really hope that Wilma never has anything wrong with her!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Anyway, I\u2019m going back to bad for the morning and am going to do my best not to look too pleased when Shadow comes back from swimming as it will go to her head.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Have a good Tuesday<\/p>\n\n\n\n
