We went to a pub today for lunch. We all ordered chicken. Whist eating my way through the chicken breast I noticed that the meat was a little pink inside. Then it became pink and wet, then just soggy and pink. Yes, it became quite raw. That was around 1300, I think the rule of thumb is roughly six-nine hours later you notice the effects.

Dear child got his reading challenge award on Thursday. His reading is still very good and doesn’t fail to leave me rather proud.

He had a good birthday party though, we gave books out to those who came. Some parents took handfuls, others were more honest and took one only, as suggested by the note we left on the table.

On Tuesday night dear wife and I went to a parents evening that showed us how they’re teaching the children. The school ran a crèche, but when we came to pick dear child up, someone had dropped a baby on his head. Turned out that some children there knew little English and were not very well controlled. One child, around 5-6 was carrying a baby and dropped it. Had Dear child’s soft tissue not been in the way it would have learnt about gravity. Sadly, dear child suffered a swollen face for a few days.

On Friday dear child had to come home from school early as he "dided a poo in his pants".
