getting close to full time

this weekend just passed saw us have Harry over again and hopefully and it will be his last "visit" before permanent care next weekend.  
things went well,  on the morning of his arrival we shot of and bought sausages and fresh bread which we barbequed for lunch. and apart from only having spicy barbeque sauce instead of plain tomato, it went down well. 
   we later bought a life jacket and fishing rod. the fishing was lousy but he has a swim in the rover at Morpeth.  
that evening we hung out,  Mia was away but it gave Joe and harry time to play computer games. 
the following morning Harry reckoned it was his first sleep-in for five years.  that may have been an exaggeration, but it clearly demonstrated how relaxed and happy he was.  
today's task was to go sailing and we did.  the bay was lively with big winds and tide flows,  so we solved under main alone.  as usual Harry wanted to control everything,  he did helm for quite a while.  I learned from the course this week that wanting to be in control can be a compensatory reaction too a lack of control at early times in their life.  
we returned in time for dinner at Mayfield west, a bit sunburned and sleepy but full of new and enjoyable experiences.  
time ashore to fish and see hundreds of soldier crabs
