Philippa The Only True Domestic Goddess has come to spend the day with us. In the afternoon we decide to go to the park to see the deer up close this time. I have remembered to take the mobile and the first aid kit this time. The bike is safely in the shed and The Boy has accepted that "they" will not cut off all the fern in the park for his benefit. The boy has drawn a picture for the Lady Who Lives In The Park. We hand it to her. All goes well this time. The kids are happy with how close they got to the animals. Need to rush home because She Who Has Married The Boy's Father is coming to pick him up for the week-end. Anyway, She Who Has Married The Boy's Father arrives on time (The Boy's Father is not noted for his punctuality) and is happy to be given a lesson on how to apply ointment and change dressings. After four years I am still suprised at how scared she is of me and how uncomfortable she is in my house. I know I am evil but still, I would have thought by now she knew The Boy's Father enough to realise what he says is not always entirely truthful.
