Monday 28 June Kobarid and Tolmin Gorges, western Slovenia

A day for exploring realms outside the behavioural norms established on this trip to date.

Today, Monday 28 June, the husband was left to look after the kids while the wife took herself off for a bicycle ride. Marooned without his Missing Item Location Finder (or MILF), initial bewilderment gave way to efficiency as bells were attached to bicycles, expresso made, and vehicle readied for cyclist pick up. Soon, two half dressed, non washed, non sunblocked children without their teeth cleaned set off to pick up Mum, finding her ensconsed in a cafe.

To add to the general air of self-rightousness now surrounding the primary child carer, he prepared a 2 course dinner for his family before finding the energy to dash to the supermarket, put the children to bed and do the washing up.

Note: one or more salient facts have been omitted from the above account. Was it:
(a) The husband had crowbarred in a sneaky 1.5 hr mtb ride in the morning;
(b) The wife spent 1 hr on her ride before:
(c) Going to the supermarket and making the lunches. Or...
(d) All of the above.

Meanwhile, Cinderella has been discovering the downside of Royal marriage. After a minor domestic altercation with her co-opted Prince, involving some pushing and resistance to kisses, she folded her arms and sighed "I don't know why I married this Prince."

  1. It amuses me that that there's a button on the top left of your blog giving the option to 'Report Abuse'. I have been wondering what this relates to and what might be an appropriate circumstance to try using it....

  2. I think such a button is for blogs where the traffic is a little higher!! Still, you could press it and see what happens...
