Yesterday was an INSET (teacher training) day, so no school for my kids. We took Olivia to her swimming lesson in the morning and bought some Father's Day cards and presents and then spent the rest of the afternoon mucking about. It was nice and relaxing, actually, and is a good lead off into a week that promises to be really hectic, with a trip to the embassy to sort Alex's passport, getting the car in for service and lots of other stuff. And a night out with the girls at a local Chinese restaurant, on the up side!

Olivia has a dentist appointment later this morning, which should be fun - actually, it should, she enjoys it. Sarah's is next week. At least dental care is free for kids, which is a nice bonus.
