7:15 a.m. Get breakfast for everyone. Make toast, coffee etc.
8:15 a.m. Ethan off to badminton club.
9 a.m. Drop Oliver off at his 'team-building' morning. Off to kitchen at work to get coffee for sponsored walk.
9:30-10:30 a.m. Help organise coffee and tea for primary school sponsored walk. Alison arrives with Caleb. Ethan and Rachel arrive. Alison takes Ethan to party while I look after Caleb, who homes in on every dog around (and there are a lot of dogs).

11:30 a.m. Alison arrives back and goes for run in preparation for 10 miler later this month. More Caleb chasing. Help clear up coffee and tea.

1:30 p.m. Ethan returns from party.
2 p.m. Drive Ethan to Cub camp. Set up Ethan's bed roll, after very lukewarm welcome. Return home.
3 p.m. Drive Alison, Rachel and Caleb to church to join in the reading of the whole bible. Drive on to Oliver's friends house to pick up boys to go bowling.

5:20 p.m. Arrive home, mow lawn, get in washing.
5:30 p.m. Get call from Alison - Caleb's wet himself, can you come with dry clothes. Drive to church. Meet church guys. Help with Caleb.

8:30 p.m. Supper with Rachel and Oliver.
9:15 p.m. Oliver and Rachel to bed, sometimes easy, sometimes a battle.
