I
don't know whether this is just a joyous coincidence, or whether Philippa read
yesterday's blog posting and decided to treat me a little, but this morning, my
wife started wearing a new perfume that contains 'a hint of blackcurrant and
elderflower'. As you can imagine, this has driven my brain a little bit crazy.
She brushed past me in the kitchen and my senses exploded with delight and
excitement. When she kissed me goodbye, I almost squirted an entire generation
of potential Chesworth offspring into my undershorts. If you see what I'm
saying...
On a less unpleasant note, I have managed to dissuade Gavin (my boss) from a ridiculous
team-building exercise idea where he wanted to take loads of us out to sea on a
high-speed boat to try and 'learn the Suffolk coastline from the water'. He
seemed to think that our understanding of our local area would be improved if
we took an expensive trip with some fishermen and 'got to view our county as
the Vikings would have'. I honestly wonder sometimes what the Hell is wrong
with him, but at least I'm slowly learning how to talk him out of these things.
In other news, we have a group staying with us this week who are from a specialist
special needs school in Lincolnshire. They've been amazing. We've had to make a
few adjustments to things to accommodate them and to give them the activities
they wanted, but the staff are delighted with our efforts, and all the children
are amazing. I don't need reminders that I am incredibly fortunate to have
children with no disabilities or limitations on their lives, but sometimes it's
nice to get those reminders anyway.
