Holiday weekend

Yesterday was a spare day for my son and I. We followed our normal routine of Netflix, shower bath and play with just hanging out and playing with lesser played with toys. The mid portion of lunchtime was spent playing Adventures with the inclusion of tent making in the front room. Our afternoon and early evening was fun as we played Halo multiplayer heavily; just the two of us on a private map rather than the game itself. My sons latest NINJA interest (as well as my watching Karate Kid 1 and 2) seems to have meant he beats me up every ten minutes during play and sometimes he catches me unawares and has to be told. It's all good fun though. After we had read our bedtime stories I told him a story which I'd outlined as a writing project about three kids and a dragon on the outer moorlands of a made up world. I was familiar with the start and had to wing it by the end. His face lit up at each dramatic section and he sat with his finger in his mouth as he listened. It actually was helpful for me by the end as now I know how to finish it better, at least the first draft. 

We set our sails for Scarborough this morning. I kept thinking it was Sunday all yesterday and now I keep thinking its Monday instead .........and it's not. A long drive lay ahead but sometimes when you go on an adventure, a lot of travelling must be done. I'm looking forward to finally getting to the B and B plus having a cooked breakfast the following morning.
