I didn't sleep well; Penny was awake (or making noise on and off) for most of the night and I was up with her sorting her out. It was 5am when she finally woke up properly. I amused her for 30 minutes but ended up sending Melissa to make a bottle for her. She drank that, or at least some of it, and then nodded off in bed with Melissa and me.
Melissa was out early for an appointment, but, in what could be considered a world first, didn't wake us both up "by accident". Penny and me woke up just around 8am, then Maggie and Gracie came up and we watched a bit of TV then fed Penny some breakfast and played with her for a bit.
By 10am she was knackered and I got her back to sleep for an hour, just before Melissa returned home. While Penny was asleep the four of us got ourselves ready for the day. We headed to Gulliver's World (via the in-laws for a sausage and egg butty).
Gulliver's World. Mecca for gypsy folk and weirdos. I've never in all my life experienced such a concentration of odd balls, weridos, and just plain unusual looking people. I'm convinced the gypsyies had set up camp near by. We saw a heavily pregnant woman get on a ride that stressed that women in her condition should definitely avoid it. I stood in a queue in front of a man who smelled strongly of alcohol, who spoke in an unintelligible drawl to the child he was accompanying, refering to him (somewhat ironically) as "Scruffy". There was so many questionable hair styles, including a young boy with MUFC shaved into his. Truly, it was incredible. However, the weather was alright, all things considered, and we had quite a good time actually.

We headed home then, via McDonalds, coz that's where you take two ten year olds after a day at a theme park.
Penny's currently in the bath with Maggie and Gracie, and having a whale of a time. Melissa's supervising, and I'm writing this.
This evening I think we're watching a lovely kids film, and hopefully this evening all four of us will make it to the end, instead of just me and Maggie.
See you tomorrow!
