07:12 Lindsay’s using Abigail’s weighted blanket for the first time. She can’t get up. She’s stuck. Why didn’t these things exist when the kids were toddlers?!
10:56 Sam comes into the kitchen and sniffs.
“Samuel!!”
“What?!”
“Stop sniffing! I hate sniffing!”
Sam sniffs.
11:22 Lindsay suddenly remembers she’s going to the pub on Monday if the Cumbrian weather plays ball (yeah right). She’d better start getting ready now. She has a year’s worth of maintenance to catch up on.
11:58 Lindsay can’t find her glasses and sets off to look for them. She hears a crack and feels a pain in her foot. She’s found her glasses.
13:23 Lindsay is looking at Ian’s unruly hair.
“You’re gonna look like a new man when you finally get to the hairdresser.”
“Will you like me then?”
“Wouldn’t go that far.”
13:37 Sam gets Lindsay all excited when he returns from the garage with Pringles tubes.
“They’re empty.”
“What kind of wicked, villainous, despicable creature are you?!”
14:12 Joel is claiming he’s doing some revision.
“Can’t find my history flashcards. I bet they’ll be in a stupid place.”
“Well you’ll have no trouble finding them then.”
15:17 Joel shows Lindsay his revision timetable.
“Joel. What on earth is Scrap and Lizzie?”
“Inter war years and Elizabeth I.”
16:37 Lindsay is having a duet again with Elaine Paige as she cooks tea. Frankie comes rushing in.
“Aww. Do you like my singing Frankie?”
Lindsay’s holding an opened packet of ham.
16:54 Abigail isn’t impressed by her mother’s singing. Ian phones Lindsay’s mobile and Abigail answers.
“Dad. Please come home. Help me. Please.”
17:18 Joel and Lindsay are discussing his sixth form interview.
“I need to take along a good school report. We need to ratch one out.”
“I don’t think they’ll accept the one from when you were six.”
Himself picked up small boy on Monday while out for a walk. Phoned me: “I’ve had an accident”. Of course I was imagining a bent car. No small boy elbowed himself in the face and broke his glasses too.
