This time we have another tank, a Nissan Pathfinder and arrived at my aunt's at 2am. Nice to sleep without rocking.
We had planned to go to the beach for the day but there were thunderstorms and torrential rain again. So we went to the Dadeland shopping centre and I went looking for a few new things for work. I am not good at co-ordinating outfits so was delighted when the personal style adviser offered to help. Ross was a trooper and sat in the change room where I must have tried on 40 different garments which could each be mixed and matched. Took a couple of hours and Trevor sat patiently in the strategically placed couches outside the door. I have used up all my brownie points and don't think either boy will come shopping again with me for a while. Bought 9 items which have 16 combinations. I wish I could find someone like that in the UK.
Still raining so I packed the cases whilst enjoying a glass of wine and chatting with Aunty Lindy. She made tacos for supper proudly wearing her boobies apron which we had bought her.
Aunty Lindy also tried to fix Ross's hair. In a fit of temper at his fringe, in Quito, he had taken the scissors from the first aid bag and given himself a haircut. We had repeatedly said not to do it etc etc but our stubborn son learns best from experience and now has a fringe cut to 1 mm which will take a few months to grow out. He obviously realised two thirds of the way across that perhaps this was not such a good plan and his parents were right, and had stopped. So Aunty Lindy finished the job, school photo will be delightful this term!
