THE WEEKEND

Tomorrow is a public holiday which means, horror of horrors, no amah for 2 full days!! That means full-time parenting for Mrs Chariot and me, just like they have to do every weekend in less enlightened countries.

Not sure who's more nervous abut this, us or the little charioteer? Look at it from his point of view - suddenly he has 2 complete amateurs with no previous experience looking after him. They really should make parents do some kind of course or exam or something before they let them loose with children.

Anyway apart from that it'll be a little light dog-walking with Rin Tin Tin (Lassie is ill - again - and is off games. That dog is a walking pharmacy.), followed by a lot of loud swearing when she buggers off and I can't find her.

And last, but my no means least, I hope to find time to squeeze in some top-level lying around in the sun doing nothing.

And that will be about it.

Have a good one all.
