In a moment of subtle pressure - and <a href="https://archive.rustgeek.me/2012/04/04/false-dawns-god-daughter-shenanigans-and-an-unexpected-meetup/">not for the first time</a> - the <em>unofficial</em> God daughter got me to agree to take them for a meal to the Frankie &amp; Benny&rsquo;s across the road from mine. At the time, I was only <em>slightly</em> worried - it was late August, and the school holidays were not till October. I assumed that the kids, being kids, would have forgotten by the time October rolled along. My bunch didn&rsquo;t, which was how I ended up dragging two children - with a third, the chief instigator, planning to arrive after a birthday party - through the doors at just past 12.30 on a Saturday afternoon; as far removed from my typical Saturday as could be. No gym, or light cleaning or an early Cineworld movie to look forward to.</p>
