Caroline's birthday
It was Caroline's 15th birthday today and the first for her in the summer heat. It was a school day and Rebecca had an early start for band practice, so we were all up at 6.30 for some cards and presents before Rebecca had to leave soon after 7.00. Caroline had a good day at school and when they all came home we had a 'family swim' in the pool.

Sue also had to take Rebecca to the doctor's and had an hour's wait to be seen - he was able to remove the splinters in her foot which were still hurting and we'd been unable to dig them out. She's walking better now! Sue also had some good news at the start of the day, taking a phone call from the school where she had an interview last week for a job one day a week - they've offered her the job so she'll be starting in just over a week's time.
