A day of Alex school parties

Woke up early to start the day off with helping with the preparations for Alexandra's Kermesse (end of year party at school). I went back and forth to home to get a wireless drill only to find that another parent had brought one in between...

The kermesse went well as it didn't rain this year and everyone seemed to have a great time... especially Alex.

I worked the basketball stand this year which involved a lot of running around in the hot sun and bending down and picking up balls all morning. The person who was supposed to replace me never showed up so I spent longer than usual, as usual, at the stand.

We finally left at about 13:00, an hour or two before the end, and headed back home to prepare for the rest of the day...

In the evening we headed off to Anne's place for the end of the year party of Alexandra's (Wednesdays) English class group. We had a lovely dinner outside in her garden with all of the other parents, many of whom we had not met before, and chatted until the wee hours...
