R worked last night, he was supposed to come home after we woke up but at 5.30 am I woke up with the sound of the main door opening followed by tip toeing around the house. Pretty shook up I snuck out of bed to see what was going on only to find R haningin his uniform in the wardrobe. They had some techincal fault ont he plane and the quickest solution was to send the passengers with the next flight while changing it into a bigger aircraft so he got to go home and sleep. Perfect for us that wanted to spend time with him today. Spent the morning by the pool, A practiced swimming and diving into the pool and J dared to jump from the edge without anyone holding her. Time passed very quickly and befor we knew it it was time to go home for lunch. After lunch we went to the Swedish Church for Christmas fair where the kids got to meet Santa, make some Christmas decorations and play on a climbing frame, everything a great success. The kids are now sleeping since an hour ago while R and I are relxing on the sofa, R thinking that he will stay awake to watch some serie A football that starts 20.45 european time, i.e 23.45 our time.  No idea how he plans to manage that!
