Tiring weekend

We've spent the weekend in Norfolk visiting friends. After a 300 mile round trip and two late nights, I'm feeling about as creative as a wet sponge. Our friends have two children who seem to be fast approaching adolescence, although they are only 9 and 11. The 11-year old has just had her ears pierced and has a new mobile phone which is pink with blue lights on the keys and has a flower background on the display. She is naturally very attached to it, and spends a lot of time tapping into its keypad. At one point when we were drinking tea with our friend's parents/inlaws, Rick was also busy texting away, and I'm convinced they were texting each other. Well, that's what it looked like.

Early to bed tonight, I think.
