Summer holidays present a plethora of opportunities for creative entertainment. Yesterday my friend Lucie and I grabbed the bull by both horns and decided to take 5 small children bowling. It was brilliant.

Lucie won; I discovered that bowling with a three month old in a sling is tricky; Tasha's balls rolled so slowly that one stopped five metres short of the target (6lb balls are heavy for a three year old) and  this morning I could feel that there are muscles in my shoulder and arm that I had long since forgotten about.

A fun afternoon was had by all.

It still tasted great though - once I managed to extract it from its tin. I'm not, however, looking forward to dealing with the oven! That can wait until the weekend. Hard times I've had a number of emails from friends recently telling me of the death of close friends and accidents that people have had; it has made me realise just how fortunate and blessed we are...
