At Roath Lake with Ewan and Rhys.

Friday 11 June.

 

We had plenty of time to read the paper, have breakfast and watch the news on TV before Margaret arrived for us at 9:00 am. It was a lovely morning and was going to be another warm day. We had to squeeze into the back of the car, Ewan was in his seat at the front and Rhys' seat was in the back. There wasn't much room and a struggle to get our seat belts fastened before setting off. Rhys was a bit unhappy again and grumpy but Ewan was full of life and chatty.

 

Justin was out when we got to the house and we had a cup of tea before getting ready to go for a walk. Margaret had Rhys in his push-chair but Ewan walked. Soon after we left Rhys dropped off to sleep and was still sleeping when we got back. We walked to Roath lake and fed the ducks as we made our way round to the swing park. Ewan likes feeding the ducks but is a bit frightened when they get to close and he throws the bread from a distance. At the swing park we had to walk round the path to get in but Ewan went down the big slide to get there. We spent about 15 minutes pushing Ewan on a swing while Rhys slept through it all. On the way back on the other side of the lake there was a swan with about half a dozen little cygnets, she was very protective and hissed at any of the ducks that came too close to her young ones. Ewan manage to keep walking until we were nearly home but eventually he got too tired and Margaret and I took turns of carrying him.

Little cygnets.

 

It was lunchtime when we got back and Rhys was still sleeping and didn't waken for another hour. After lunch Ewan was getting tired as well and fell asleep on the couch. When Rhys wakened he had something to eat then Margaret and Moira took him with them when they went shopping at the supermarket, I was left to keep an eye on Ewan. About an hour later Justin got home and Ewan was still sleeping. We had a chat about his redundancy and job prospects before getting on to football.

 

This morning the WiFi was good, we managed to download the newspaper and I began uploading photos to the Google cloud. But in the afternoon the internet connection disappeared and I couldn't even get it to open for email. Before dinner we were supposed to be going with Ewan to his judo class but when he eventually woke up he was a bit hot and not feeling well. So Margaret decided he wasn't going and began making the dinner. We had fried chicken breast with salad, Margaret and Justin are on the Tim Noakes' protein diet and eat very little carbohydrates. It was very nice but I would have liked chips or potatoes with it.

 

After dinner Margaret got the boys to bed. They went off without any problem and seemed to be soon sound asleep. Margaret also goes to bed early as she starts work at 6:30 am, this extra time enables her to work a four day week and she has Fridays off. So she ran us back to the campsite about 8:00 pm. I made up the bed as soon as we got in and I watched the opening game in the European Nations Cup between the hosts France and Croatia. It was nearly half time when I turned it on and there had been no score. France got a goal early in the second half but Croatia equalised. It looked like a draw but the French got the winner in the last minute.

 

As soon as it finished it was time to switch off the light and get to sleep.
