A non stop day; after an hour's reading, it was out at 8 (squeezed in a school run) and then hit the 4 most deprived areas in Edinburgh throughout the morning. A brief stop at hers for soup and then onto the afternoon which was similarly busy. Another school run and then made it home under cover of darkness to write some of the day's reports up.

Out at 6 for dinner; she had got the tree up and decorated; looked amazing; an air of happiness and jollity about the place. Nonsense about teapigs and backflips abounded; a good evening (albeit one that stretched a little too far - coming home after midnight on a school night is never a good look...)
Straight to sleep; gone.
