Hard Work!



Tuesday is museum day, unless someone skives off and I am back later.  Being half term the brats wee ones are annoying their parents by demanding attention seeking action, standing in herds outside (and inside) shops like the neds they are, and crowding the streets when decent societies keep them locked up ins school.  Our one presentation this week is something about fitness.  The kids jump about for a minute then find their pulse.  What else they do I know not as this was too energetic for me, so I hopped it back to my seat.  
However since arriving we had been on the go as there was a second event to be organised and no one had done the preparation the day before!  The poor girls were running around desperately looking for things that ought to have been prepared for them.  I kept out of the way as they breathed fire while smiling sweetly to the folks attending.  
A reasonable number of parents brought the kids in for a look around.  This led to many conversations with one or both parents, WW2 Burma, old town history and history of a local farm, spelling off names were discussed.  Great stuff!  We also managed to make some of them part with their cash!  This was indeed good!  The kids all behaved like kids, which is why dad or mum bringing them on his/her own were sweating blood by the time they left.  Lovely to see! The wise mums bring kids to the events and leave them there.  They then wander through the shops, sit in the cafe's or entertain themselves in peace for an hour or two.  
Would you believe tomorrow someone has cried off and I will be in during the afternoon.  Tsk!

I heard tell while you're at work tomorrow afternoon a special kid's excursion has been arranged; kids from all around are arriving because it's been said there is this very special fellow at the museum who has a wealth of history knowledge.

The word has spread wide and far that he really loves it when the kids are on holidays and welcomes all and sundry and more to come along...as long as they are 13 years and younger.

He can't wait for his next shift to begin. ;)

Do you get paid more for giving kids donkey rides on your back?

Carol, I had no fun, I just took picture and escaped! The kids enjoyed it mind.

Jerry, I do not get paid and I do NOT give donkey rides!!!!
