We are up by 8am but it’s usually a slow start with cosy time on the couch where my eldest Polly, nine, will usually be playing with slime. The baby Freddie, one, likes to sleep late so my husband will get up and I’ll have an extra snooze. Alfie, seven, has taken up GAA so there is a bit of standing at the sideline of matches that I hadn’t anticipated. I don’t know if he’ll ever play for Cork but he certainly loves it. I might do a few laps of the pitch while I’m there.
