One week ago my father died and today my mother came to my house to have lunch with us and spend the afternoon. Although very emotive when she meets someone that gives her condolences, but I’m sure soon she will overcome it.

At lunch time I had the visit of my ex-coworker, his wife and daughter. They were on holidays for the past two weeks but as soon as they knew about my father’s they told me they would visit me as soon as they get back home.

Although we had a foggy day, the sun made its appearance and the kids were able to enjoy the pool. Now, we are waiting for rain and thunder as it happened last night in the interior of the country where the rain caused floods and the lightning caused several fires. This reminds me of the fire extinguishers I have at home and the need to check their due date.

We went for a walk with my mother, drank a coffee and came back home for a relaxed afternoon.

I think I’m going to have a quite noisy night. The kids are camping again in my room, this time with inflated mattresses, one of them made of plastic, so you can imagine the noise it makes each time they move on top of them. They like to pretend they are camping. We did it two years ago, we stayed in a bungalow, and they enjoyed it very much. This year, as I’m jobless, holidays will be spent at home, so they are enjoying camping in my room. I think they find it an interesting experience once they are not sleeping on their own bed.

You might think, where is the husband? Well, he sleeps in the sofa. No, we are not mad at each other but once the kids are on holidays and stay up a little longer he prefers to sleep in the sofa. We manage to meet from time to time.

Do your kids like to camp inside the house or they prefer the outdoors?
