Sunday
The entry" A Day to
day life for the McCann's" does not have a date on the screenshots.
However if you check the Sunday Mirror link it confirms that it was Sunday
20-05-07 Day 17: Although the Sunday Mirror says it is Day 18: which would have
made it Monday
A Day to day life for the McCann's
Our day starts around 6.30am with us all waking up around the same
time. We have breakfast with Sean and Amelie and our close family/friends who
are here with us. Then its clean nappies and clothes for Sean and Amelie
followed by showers etc for the rest of us.
Usually there’s some free time then for a few stories or games
with the twins before heading out.
9.00-9.15 We take Sean and Amelie to Kids’ Club. They really enjoy
it and run in.
They know the staff well
and the staff are all excellent. Both love the domestic corner and Amelie
particularly likes to look after ‘babies’. We use the kids club a bit like
nursery at home but we think Sean and Amelie still think they are on holiday!
9.30~12.15. We return to the apartments, usually for a series of
meetings with our press officer, Mark Warner Reps, occasionally Consulate
staff, lawyers and British Liaison officers. During this time we catch up with
family and close friends, usually by telephone and discuss ideas how to keep
Madeleine’s profile high especially throughout continental Europe .
12.30 Time to pick up Sean and Amelie from Kids’ club then head
back to apartment for lunch, which has usually been prepared by one of our family/friends
group who have been tremendously supportive.
13.30 –14.30 This is time to spend time playing with the twins
either in the apartment or in the play area next to kids club.
14.30-15.00 Usually we take the twins back to Kids’ Club although
Sean has had the odd afternoon in the apartment as it’s a bit cooler and he’s
not much of a sun worshipper! They have been taking part in many different
activities including painting, singing, stories, swimming, trips to the beach
and they have lots of toys to play with.
15.00~17.00 We try to get some time together alone, going for a
walk to talk things over or getting some exercise. This is often the time for
quiet trips to the church for prayers.
17.00-17.30 Meet kids for high tea with other mums and dads. They
love pasta and have been doing really well with their vegetables although a few
chips have been squeezed in.
17.30-18.30. Games with kids at play area. Amelie loves trying to
get in the baby pool!
18.30-19.30 Bath
20.00 We put the kids to bed.
20.30-23.00 We try to sit down for a family meal, again usually
cooked by one of the small family group out here with us. Chat about the day’s
events and plan the next day
23.30 bed and prayer for Madeleine that she will be returned to us
safely
ASAP.
In addition to above we try to attend various church services
during the week, and make multiple phone calls to family and
friends. We try to watch the main news
early morning and late evening but have had almost no time
to read
the newspapers or even look at the pictures!
Kate is a keen runner and in the last few days has tried to
include a run in the
daily routine. Yesterday (Sat) at 7am we ran to the monument at
the top of the steep cliff overlooking Praia
Luz. We reached it in 19 minutes.
