People are still frightened to mention Stephanie to us despite us talking about, they let us talk and we have photo's up, but we feel like we're constantly navigating other peoples awkwardness, which is something a fellow blogger said to me a while ago about their daughter which is so desperately sad and there are so few words for.
Saturday 26th September Peter and I took Thing 1 our eldest great nephew to Barry Island for breakfast, a walk on the beach and to spend money on the 2p slots and on the fun fair. Then we head to Jenner Park for the match which Barry lost 4-1. Shocked to discover with a crowd of less than 500 that VAR is in play in the Welsh Premier League. On our way home child 2 got called out so we picked up DIL and grandchildren who live near the The Things but had already arranged to meet niece in Monmouth to drop Thing 1 off so she followed us back anyway as we drove past her house, all too cokmplicat4ed to explain. Got home at 7pm and son arrived at 8pm anyway. A late night for all.
Sunday 27th September Awake around 7am and out the house around 9.30am to the Three Counties Show arriving in a down pour. we all split up to do our own thing with kids, without kids, met up again in ones and twos for food, drink, funfair, giant pumpkins, pony rides etc. Home around 4pm, neighbours kids round for an hour or so. Roast dinner and everyone home by 6pm. Peter and I had a quick tidy and hoover round, washing on, everything ready for work in the morning, tv watched and bed around 10pm. I was exhausted.
Monday 28th September I really struggled to get up, but got to work on time. New book choice for book club so messaged Peter to meet me at the library and we went for a coffee. Home for dinner and watched some TV and at 7.30pm I went out for a run. Had a bath and watched more TV and went to bed.
Tuesday 29the September I was awake early so decided to go for a run at 6am, had a shower then off to work. A busy day as always then home and fell asleep on the sofa for an hour after dinner, and a bath and was in bed by 7.30pm absolutely shattered and asleep within the hour.
Wednesday 30 the September Up at 5.30am and out for a 3k run. It absolutely chucked it down and I was drenched. showered and off to work to a very confusing email for cover and other things which resulted in an email signed off as 'adaptable as I am, mind reader I am not' Home by 4pm, dinner and down the retail park for a coffee and then the gym. Home to do some work online a shower and TV and bed.
Thursday 1st October Busy day in work and I need a day to get ahead of myself, every time I think I have time for paperwork someone fills the gap for me. Headed off to the nail bar getting changed first in the car ready to run home after a coffee with Peter who drove home. Dinner when I got back. We watched The Blame, I went for a bath, and had an hours chat with my cousin and watched the last half hour of Traitors, then I packed and sorted things out for our camping trip on the weekend and didn't get to bed till almost midnight.
Friday 2nd October Work was so busy, cover all day and all of it last minute. I have many other roles from attendance calls to pupil premium support and it means I'll be spending a couple of hours this weekend on paperwork. Peter collected me and we drove to Newport for the night ahead of a parkrun and a 3rd birthday party in the morning. I had to buy a lighter since stopping smoking as I had nothing to light the gas bottle to cook my dinner on, which is a reminder to change the gas bottle and get the habitation check done not eh van. In carved a pumpkin, made a hedgehog from a book and watched the Traitors and in bed at 10pm.

Shame the show was wet, although we've done Bath Show in the rain and it did mean it wasn't so busy. Sounds like a busy week, and still managing to get in the running. Hope you had a good weekend.
