It was a slow start. The Gorse Fox was up first and had quite a while to himself before he heard Ellie stirring upstairs. That was the trigger for everything to begin. The Silver Vixen swung into action and alongside the usual breakfast preparation she had to consider swimming. Friday morning involves a swimming session for Ellie. As Urban-Cub was working it fell on G-force to step in.

We headed across to Worthing, Ellie and the Silver Vixen dropped into the waters of the hydrotherapy pool and the Gorse Fox sat and watched. The host for the session took each of the children through a series of simple games so that they felt perfectly at ease in the water. Ellie clearly loved it and the Silver Vixen enjoyed the warmth of the water. Once the session was over and Ellie was dressed, the Gorse Fox took over  while the Silver Vixen got dressed. By now Ellie was getting hungry so he sat and fed her while we waited.

What a good job we had the presence of mind to feed her before heading home. The traffic was horrendous and it took 75 minutes to get back - a journey that should only have taken 30. The rest of the day was spent on patrol as Ellie wandered round. The Gorse Fox was very proud that she had found the duck tape and was clutching that like a well-loved toy. If he could just get her to play with the cable ties, her education would be complete.

Pistol Pete collected Ellie on his way back from work, The evening seemed remarkably quiet.
