Busy day

Up early to read a decision on one of my cases. Slightly disappointing start to the weekend! Also some early piano practice for A. before his exam on Sunday and then off to Church and then Church school. E. is having her belated birthday celebration at a local Hotel this afternoon and A is at a confirmation retreat so V and I go off to the beach where V. clambers around the climbing/obstacle course and I swot up on musical notation for A's musical knowledge section of the exam. Bit of a rush to get to Jebel Ali in time for parants meeting at A. Retreat and then back via Spinneys to pick up prawns and Clonakillity bangers for BBQ tonight. Everyone seemed to have a good time so after an unpromising start, eventually a pretty decent day.
