We drove down to Portland, on the Dorset coast, to do some climbing on the sea cliffs in today's beautiful sunshine. We all enjoyed the day a lot, though Bobs found the climbing a bit tame. When I say "we all", once again we were, sadly, Stephen-less - he works every Saturday and Sunday from 8 till 2.

The rest of the pictures are here.

I've got everything ready for the forthcoming week; all our clothes are washed, dried, ironed and neatly hung up, the kitchen is absolutely pristine, and my bag, complete with adorable monstery new pencil case and planner and even, I am embarrassed to admit, matching pencil and ruler (oh how I love new stationery!) is packed and hanging in the coat cupboard ready to go.

It's nice that I'm actually looking forward to going to work tomorrow. Such a contrast to that first, dire, job that I had over here. I hope nothing happens to disillusion me...
