I am so forgetful. I have forgotten another couple of interesting titbits from yesterday.

Angela was telling us about how she had been to visit the greenkeeper from the golf course next to where the car crash was. He had been one of the first on the scene and had looked after Angela and held her head whilst the fire crews were cutting her free. She recounted a very emotional meeting with him. It was lovely to hear and both her and the greenkeeper got a great deal out of the meeting.

She also found out that the other greenkeeper had done the same for Karen. Karen isn’t anywhere near that kind of meeting yet, but in the fullness of time, I hope she wants to meet up with him, so we can thank him for everything he did. At least they know the girls are alive, which they didn’t until Angela’s visit.

Following this, Chrissy told the story of the accident from work’s perspective, and I found this very moving. I didn’t quite cry, but I wasn’t far off as she recalled how work had gathered them all together to tell them of the bad news and how critical kp was. It REALLY brought those few days back to me. It was an awful time.

kp was full of aches and pains this morning, with her back especially giving her gip.

I went to pick Marie, Adele, Abbie and Louisa up in Durham for their stayover. We had a really good afternoon. Louisa (2) seems to be particulary keen on men, and within 30 minutes of arriving, she seemed glued to me. I loved it !

Here are Abbie and Louisa on one of our chairs moments after they arrived.

Louisa then came in the computer room and sat on my lap as I typed emails. Here she is with my glasses on.

When it came to going out, she wanted me to get her ready, put her trousers and top on, change her shoes etc…. NO PROBLEM !!!

Louisa :- David, wee weee………… (she wanted me to take her to the loo)

YIKES !!!!!!!!!! EMERGENCY ESCAPE BUTTON NEEDED !!!!

I don’t do Nappies, Pull-up pants and trips to the loo. I must get a sign saying this at the threshold to our house. Will all visitors to Chez Pollard please note this for future.

We went out to the local fun factory place and the kids ran themselves ragged.

£2 for as long as they wanted and Louisa went free. MONEY WELL SPENT. The only problem is you have to stay on the premises, so we couldn’t collect them tomorrow.

An extra 50p each for face painting…..

Abbie is a butterfly, and Louisa is a princess in case it wasn’t obvious.

Karen and I have really enjoyed their company and had lots of good laughs. It’s 9.30pm and the kids are still wide awake. When I was a lad, I had to be in bed by 6pm, those were the days !

That’s it for today.
