Friday 23rd July

Today is Lily’s last day at school, her final day in reception year that has passed in the blink of an eye. I do feel some sort of poignancy as she blithely skips to school and enters Ms. P’s “Owls” class for the final time. She gives her teacher a small Japanese themed gift, which seems to almost move her to tears. Then there is the home-made card in which Lily has written “Thank you for being my teacher”. It took a couple of attempts to get it right. I thought of leaving the mistakes in so that Ms. P can see the chinks in her pupil’s knowledge. But then the card would not make sense.

Again, an intense day researching and writing Pomerol whilst polishing off the final Burgundy articles for Wine-Journal. I keep being interrupted by Daisy who has tummy ache and seems a little constipated. At around six o’clock she is finally able to dispose of three days of poo, which I am convinced is the largest ever achieved by a 3-year old. She must lost half her bodyweight in a single plop. Anyway, she seems relieved and can enjoy her bathtime without feeling she is about to explode.
