Not on today's to-do list

1. Nip into school and shave my daughter.

 And here would follow a thoughtful post about children growing up, except that this was needed in order to tape her arms to help her muscle tone, rather than any teen girl crisis. And I'd still be inclined to muse about how this wasn't how I'd envisaged buying her her own razor (if I had ever planned these things), but the school bus has just turned up, and so I must unload girls from there and load them onto our own. Let the holidays begin!
