Closing thoughts

For a time there, May looked like being a complete wash-out blog-wise, but I feel I may have rescued it somewhat with my efforts in the past couple of weeks.
It's very hard to fit in some writing time alongside my full-on work duties and fatherhood. The addition of another little one makes a surprisingly huge difference to your workload and your availability. Maybe it shouldn't be surprising, but it is. You'd think (or I did, at least) that turning a group of three into a group of four wouldn't involve a complete change of pace and a gargantuan decrease in the amount of spare time, but it does.
So I think I'm doing quite well, considering.
Speaking of wash-outs, that's what the past week has been, weather-wise. I wasn't cheered up by the report on the radio that 'we can expect the wettest Summer on record' if things follow their current patterns, but I was cheered up by the attitudes of the many people residing on our sites over this rather dreary half-term week. They all seemed determined to enjoy themselves despite the shitty efforts of the skies above them, and we have had plenty of smiles and plenty of positive comments, and plenty of attendance at the various indoor activities that we laid on, some of which we threw together last-minute to compensate for the cancellation of outside events. I really do have a fantastic team when it comes to interaction with punters, and I end this week feeling very proud of them, and myself.
