Supper :- Pork and apple casserole, with mashed potatoes, cauliflower in a light cheese sauce, and roast red peppers with cherry tomatoes. The apples Ann used in the casserole are Cox's pippins (we were given a box of these by our friend Phoebe just before Christmas- they are an eating apple but quite sharp and go well in a pork casserole). For pudding we had a bread and butter pudding and custard. Altogether a very satisfying winter supper. After supper we played a game of scrabble which Ann won by ten points. Had a glass of port apiece to go with it.
Good night all.

ps word verification is phobi - spooky ref to the apple lady !
Ah, but you forget, daughter, that all of our children left school harumphty years ago!!! And so have many of theirs now, so it doesn't really count.
P.s. Not sure I've made that clear. What I meant to say was that School nights/weekends are now so far in the past (much the same period as the late neolithic age) as to be no longer relevant for us, or only relevant on the rare occasions when we're asked to babysit, and then only by a serious exercise of memory.
P.P.s. Sorry, Grandbrats. Not babysit - Childmind.
In my own case it's probably not so much childmind as to provide a focal point for love, support and attention to keep the youngsters occupied with their senior relative's needs and so out of trouble and the other iniquitous practices of the young when otherwise unoccupied! Clearly in your case it is as a source of constant delight, information and entertainment with hanky bunnies, reed-boat Pooh-Styx, corn-dollies and poppy puppets, with the odd demonstrations of copper-plate gravure and black powder alchemy included!
Hello Crowbard. Plus, these days, alternative pantomime.
