Two things are happening this weekend. 1) Mary-Ann arrives this evening, Thursday, as she has to personally attend her new school for her CRB check tomorrow. The end of her term coincides with the end of term here in Norfolk, so there will be no opportunity to do it after they have moved. Little Joe has a place at Toftwood Infant School, so at least she will be able to make use of this visit to go and see the school and the Head. Unfortunately Joe will go in cold at the beginning of next term.
2) We are going to Stone tomorrow to hear Joe sing in Handel's Messiah at Lichfield Cathedral. Bless him, he decided to sign up to this when it ws not at all sure that I would be fit enough to attend during my chemo, so this event is very precious for us. It has been difficult for him to fit in the rehearsals, but he has done it, and we are really looking forward to the performance on Saturday. Mary-Ann is going to join us in Stone when she has finished all her appointments tomorrow, and will do the other half of the journey home on Saturday, which breaks it up for her although the total distance will be greater.
We should have spent this week working on the house, getting ready for the family. In fact it has been a gorgeous sunny week and we have been outside every afternoon re-making the raised beds and generally tidying up and pottering around enjoying the sunshine. Mary-ann's room is ready for her, otherwise the house is in chaos.
