There was a relaxed air as the creatures moved about, firstly ordered in their pens and then as the afternoon went on increasingly where ever they wanted to be. The older members of the species kept to one end, watching as their offspring released their energy in regular bursts over a range of distances.
I sat, plugged into my machine and observed the scene. This was not my natural habitat but then I was dragged in to it all as firstly my own off spring and then a range of her friends came up to chat, glad there was a mum they knew who was ready and able to take an interest.
Me, I was slightly over whelmed to be honest. I mean I'd almost been in shock this morning when I'd got the phone call. It went roughly along the lines of
"You know it's sports day?"
"Yes"
"Well you know I said I didn't want you to come, well I did want you to come really I just didn't want to get all soppy"
So anyway, today I went and did being mum in quite a big way & actually quite enjoyed it. Third Party didn't achieve much place wise but she did make me really proud because she was ready to step in and help out her form when other people got injured, even though she's not exactly a natural athlete.
