La has had a pretty cool few days.
She is most emphatically one of Danny Boyle's new fans, following on from that stunning Olympic Opening Ceremony, which she spent mostly on her feet, dancing and singing to so much of her favourite mooosic.
La is tolerating Olympic fever which has arrived in our house. She was impressed to find the Kaiser Chiefs playing at the beach volleyball - so was La's Dad (or that's what he told me anyway).
Today at last, we have the resumption of the Tuesday teatime trip for the first time in over 4 months. Miss E, the new care worker charged with La has shadowed Thursday regular C twice now and we're all set, this afternoon for the real deal.
The signs are good. Miss E, just 19 years old seems calm, is experienced with young adults like La and seems keen.
But of course it won't be up to Miss E... it all depends on Miss La...
I'm sure for the last two weeks she has viewed Miss E as a rival for C's attention and special time. I have tried to prepare La for her tea time trip with Miss E and she has switched between enthusiasm and refusal at the prospect.
In my eagerness for a relatively relaxed early evening I really must resist pushing La out of the front door and act all nonchalant.
Will let you know.
