A mildly amusing start to the day. Knowing that Dan had to be up for boat duties with his dad and the fact that he had been out the night before, I approached his bedroom door with a degree of caution.
I knocked quite loudly and simultaneously opened the door, and at about the same time I heard a guttural grunt of acknowledgment, but the head that popped up from the pillows was not my son's....!!
It was in fact his best friend who had 'crashed' out and slept in Dan's bed while Dan had gone up to his brothers bedroom as he was on night's so it was empty. I use the term 'slept' somewhat loosely, as if it hadn't been for Tom going out to collect them at 2:45am they would still be walking up Mont Millais, so the amount of sleep they had actually had and nothing amounts to the same thing! Needless to say they both managed to survive the day. Sleep deprivation being their only concern whilst their other friend who was busy walking along the road minding his own business (quite late at night admittedly) had a man come up to him and randomly punched him in the mouth! the irony being this lad has just come back from traveling in South America for four months with no mishap and two weeks later in the relative safety of Jersey....
St Catherine's woods was beautiful this morning, and this evening (pre thunderstorm) the north coast was just as lovely.
