Good day, sad ending.

We had a morning with the kids watching Ice Age 2 (very good), the kids weren’t that interested to be honest. Lunch was the usual “round the table” affair of ham sandwiches and beer – absolutely gorgeous.

And then it was time for Dad, Jane and Guy to go off playing golf. Mum, kp and I had the kids and took them to the swimming pool at Mum’s hotel. kp was keen to carry on her hydro in the lovely warm pool. She did all her usual exercises but avoided swimming after the pain she suffered the last time she tried it.

Here is kp and Sophie in the whirlpool before a 6 foot man lost his footing and fell on kp. kp pushed him away just at the right time so he didn’t do too much damage.

After that we went outside and the kids paddled for ages in the kids pool.

Back to the villa for a chinese – very tasty. Here are kp and I after the chinese.

Lots of talking followed with kp grilling dad on company issues. Guy wanted to make a point about “motivation” and was going round the table asking people what their motivation was. I was dreading him coming to kp our I, but thankfully it evaporated before it got to us. Once mum and dad left, the remaining 4 of us continued the discussions and guy brought up motivation again and asked me and kp what ours was. At this point kp got upset. She is sick of her body and the struggle it takes to do anything that she could normally do with ease. The tears went on for quite a while and kp was annoyed with herself for crying. We tried to say it was ok. But I think she felt a bit embarassed. kp and I are struggling for a point in life. We know it, but noone else can REALLY understand it from reading the blog. But, eventually we got past the tears and went to bed on a little higher note.

Here is a photo from the first night of us at dad’s lovely barbecue.
