Some friends appeared at our door just as I was starting supper last night, kidnapped us and took us to Portobello Beach (Edinburgh, not London!) for the evening. We had the best time! Nice long (slooow) walk along the promenade, £1 worth of 2p pieces at the arcade, then chips and curry instead of supper!
Kids had a sleepover at said friends' house last night. Sweet silence....
(They'll be home later this afternoon, but I am feelin MUCH refreshed!)
