Had a babysitting gig Tuesday, 4 kids, pizza, soft drink, caramel popcorn and chocolate whilst slung across mattresses and lazy boys in the lounge watching Harry Potter 5 projected onto a precariously pinned bedsheet, watched Mr. & Mrs Smith for the first time, enjoyed it in spite of the controversy it started! Made pancakes from a packet for the first time, burnt pancakes, ran out of maple syrup, honey just didn't cut it. Dropped kids to school, dropped mini van back to it's owners, pondered over the political debate between radio presenters on whether or not to drug test receivers of welfare payments, discussed these ponderings over a glass of bubbles with a much loved girlfriend Janet.

early arrival of slumber at 5.30pm. 4am to rise and head to Palm Beach markets. First day of spring, not a cloud in the sky. Wished for a happy day. Wish granted babysitting twin 3yr old girls for high school girlfriend. Got duped by the cheeky monkeys who made me believe they were afraid of the dark. Duped again into giving them treats secretly adoring every minute of their antics, let them wrestle with each other and delight in fits of giggles. Let them fall asleep on me and I bathed in our comforting cuddle puddle. Listened to them snore and wondered how long I had to lay there until I could carry them to their beds? Made the move after half an hour. Success!
