I refuse to eat meat!

Currently in the latter stages of an epic weekend involving Freya's school disco, several dinners out, a trip to the movies (grownups only - woo hoo!), several catching-ups and a halloween party.  Am completely wrecked.  Today we caught up with Kate, Chloe & Henry for lunch, and the girls had hot dogs for lunch.  As the eating progressed Kate suddenly realized that the plates had been swapped, and Freya was happily munching away on Chloe's non-vegetarian hot dog (insofar as any of them contain any actual meat, rather than meat related animal by-products).  Chloe didn't like her (vegetarian) one and Rebecca tactfully suggested that she swap it with Freya.  She didn't want to, and Freya announced "I refuse to eat meat!".

I think this is one of those occasions were a small omission of the truth is quite reasonable!

Is it wrong to hope one's child is ill on Monday so you can take the day off work?

Not sure on that one.  Ask me tomorrow?

On a more excellent note, was in the local bookshop and wondered when the next Iain M. Banks was likely to arrive.  I looked on the shelf and Lo!  There it was.  Purchased promptly, and will read it instead of doing important stuff like marking homework.

In other good news, Freya's ballet rehearsal was on Saturday and wasn't anywhere near as bad as I was expecting.
