Weekend.

“Books are the quietest and most constant of friends; they are the most accessible and wisest of counsellors, and the most patient of teachers.”

Good Morning World... Sat 21st, 5.51, 10.6dg. Yesterday was a dry and cool day... all day, fantastic. Conversation and tuition dispatched happily and two more eight year olds on the books. My diary is looking like a jigsaw puzzle as I am trying to fit in my new gardening job around the weather the rules, the tuition and my impending departure. Darted into Bludenz to do some stationary and book purchasing late in the afternoon... on the return train I was astonished at the attitude of all the young and middle aged males boarding the train who pushed past a Mother trying to load her pushchair with a newborn in it... I helped her load the pram and made a loud comment about the lack of help from so many men ... when we arrived in Schruns one of the young men asked if he could help her off the train... good job. Today I am off early to get 3 hours in on hedges and buxus clipping before the midday quiet... we have two or three sunny days forecast so hopefully I will be able to tick this garden off. I am missing my daily skype with my girls... amazing how used you get to a daily routine, until you don't have it. Mel has been staying with a friend helping out as Mother in Charge for several days, and the Poppet has had two big "sisters"a big girls bath to play in, so she is in seventh heaven. Home in time for the 2pm Quali from Singapore. No predictions from this kid, but I do have a quiet wish.. Happy Saturday, Enjoy
