Back to School

It’s high summer. The children are bored. I’m keen to get back to work and increasingly using the television as electronic babysitter. I’ve got to do all the last minute shopping, uniform buying, pencil sharpening and book selecting which typifies Parental September. And everyone moves up one more year. Exciting for them. I just feel as if I’m getting older. Someone told me that after you turn 45, you put on 1kg every year! Aaagh! Why do you think I’m running the Royal Parks Half Marathon this October?!
