    School holidays and nobody to look after the kids. Arranged to come into work at midday so I could cover the morning.

    I’ve brought them into town, bought them movie tickets and then lunch before ditching them. They ate lunch and made their way to the cinema. When the movie finishes, they’ll make their own way home and get ready for swimming lessons. Mum will get home around 4 to take them to the pool. They’re basically out in the city and independent of adult supervision for four hours.

    So I’m at work now and the kids are in their first movie session ever with no adult present. They’re making core memories right now. The first movie I saw with no grown up in the cinema with me was Flight of the Navigator - I remember it vividly.
