There's something I can do on a Tuesday which is convenient and free and gets me away from the house and the children and gives me contact with adults; I can go and do the grocery shopping from about 5:30-7:30, including travel time. If Rob feels very with it I can also stay late and help pack up the True Food Market, anything as late as 10pm.

And now there's something Rob can do on a Tuesday which is convenient and free and gets him away from the house and the children and gives him contact with other adults; he can go around the corner to a regular game-playing evening, from about 7:30 to 11:30.

This is definitely a good thing, but I do wish it were on any day other than a Tuesday. I really liked my evenings off - I used to have a cup of tea after the shopping, and talk to people. Today I was rushing back to let Rob go out and I missed most of the people I usually talk to.

Perhaps we can do every other week. On the 10th I'm at the market until at least 8pm because we're doing a "slings and real nappies demonstration" type event. We hope to sell slings, nappies, and incidentally FOOD, because we hope to bring people to the market.

There's going to be something for older children later in the summer, when they're on school holidays, I think.
