Well, it is handy we have a solution for spoiled appetites at meals already planned, isn't it? (Speaking of: may I ask your Berry to provide something for hungry teenagers on Saturday evening? I have volunteered a certain amount of supervision and drilling for a select handful, with more than one purpose in mind.)

As to the rest, well, it is something of a consolation, actually, that I was not the only one reticent to act. As horrible as the consequences turned out to be. I keep wondering if I could have changed all this if I'd been faster to realise what was going on this summer.

I will do my best with the sleep. Fourth years first, though I think it's holding clear enough that we'll be outside, which is a goodness.
