Level 2 Chi Kung.

Finished packing for Katie’s sleepover (having had to wash and dry her robe and slanket) ending up with an unfeasibly huge and heavy amount of luggage for one small child to be away from home for 17.5 hours. Cleaned the kitchen before embarking on production of near-industrial quantities of shortbread. Filled six tins to give away, replenished the tin in the freezer that I had bandicooted in desperation to produce a present for the guitar teacher, and left a dozen or so pieces out to mollify the family.

At 5:30 I went to collect Katie from after-school club and took her out for pasta before dropping her, and her mountain of luggage, at the school sleep over. The large hall was a mass of excited 7 year olds and the entire stage was covered in luggage, with many parents hauling even bigger bags than Katie’s.
