It was a lovely day today, can’t quite equate nearly T shirt weather with snow warnings for 48 hours time somehow. We drove along the coast and if time had been in greater supply would have spent some time there today it was that lovely. I worked all day yesterday. It was very quiet and …

I have this daughter Scarlett. She is small and very funny 🙂 Sometimes she likes to wear her jeans round the wrong way. She always likes to be ‘just like you Mummy’ which extends to allowing her hair to be put up if it is the same style as I am sporting on that day …
Call me sentimental….
Oh yeah, you already did! 😉 We went to Arundel today and met up with Julie, Jack and Maisie at Swanbourne Lake. As we were walking round I recalled that it had been somewhere Ady and I had gone on one of our very first days out together as a couple – there is home …
Two day catch up
Yesterday. Ah yes, yesterday. Hmmm. I was on a full day training course at Worthing library about Children’s services. I’d allowed half an hour for driving into town, parking and then walking to the library. I’d thought I’d park in the carpark next to the library but on checking the details of the carpark on …
Some photos
Scarlett planting her seeds the other week and then clearing up the soil afterwards with the Davies machine they’ve not taken long to start rewarding her work 🙂 And here’s Hatchwatch Day Zero 🙂 We’re on day five now, we’ll be candling them on Saturday to check progress so far but I’m not sure how …
Then the sun came out and dried up all the rain..
Well no one seemed to be ill today. Although Davies ended the day with a sticky eye 🙄 and Tarly was demonstrating how quickly she can regress to toddlerdom when the mood takes her. Fortunately along came Ros with a real live toddler and made her look all big and grown up and oversized so …

Yawn…
Utterly fed up of us all being ill. Struggling with general apatheticness, not a lot of sympatheticness and a huge amount of general patheticness. I still can’t decide if I am actually ill or just hayfever-y, Scarlett seems to be pretty much back to normal (see how just typing that sentence jinxes her health by …
And finally…
I forgot to blog earlier that we have been Victims Of Crime. When my Dad arrived this morning he couldn’t ring on the doorbell because the bell push was missing!!! Da da dahhhhh! (as Davies once said 😉 ) We have a wireless doorbell and the bell push was just hooked on by a screw. …
Been enjoying this
this evening
Must show D
This tomorrow 🙂
Weatherwise it’s such a lovely day
just say the word and we’ll race the birds to Acapulco Bay, yes it’s perfect for a flying honeymoon they say, so come fly with me, let’s fly, let’s fly away (need a musical note smiley, something like :semiquaver:) Another rough night with Scarlett last night although I think it was more habit than anything …
I took a right, I took a right turning yesterday…
After I blogged last night Tarly was up and awake loads, including perking up quite commendably around 11pm and requesting custard with chocolate sprinkles :lol:. She finally went to sleep around midnight but was awake again a couple of times in the night, albeit fairly happy and not in any pain. By this morning she …

No phone, no pool, no pets
Slow start to the morning with a very prolonged breakfasting of the running buffet variety. I got several loads of washing done and pegged out and a mammoth tower of clean stuff put away with assistance in sock matching from Davies :). Scarlett has been in bad humour all day and had plenty of ‘moments’ …
Favourite Uncle
I’m feeling better tonight, having spent the whole day feeling faint and weak. I actually had a low level feeling of nausea all day very similar to the early weeks of pregnancy with both D&S (and no, I’m not, and if I am then we are so sueing the hospital who snipped A and the …
Reminder to self!
I just watched ‘My Life As A Child‘ – really good show and found links to this – mustn’t forget to watch it!
Finally feeling better
Can’t believe it’s only Wednesday actually, it’s already been a long week. We had plans for Monday which we cancelled due to them both being ill and then due to a massive turnaround recovery we resurected. Probably an unwise decision really but Tuesday was a nice day. We got home at about 6pm last night, …
When we do something….
we certainly throw ourselves into it. This season we are mostly being home educating hippies 😆 Featuring Nic and Scarlett and their coats of many colours Our growing collection of DMs and our garage wall complete with the beginnings of a family effort mural, naturally kicked off with a rainbow 🙂 I’m thinking some dreadlocks, …
Been thinking…
about motivation. We had the discussion about intellectual stimulation, the comments on Live Otherwise about intrinsic and extrinsic rewards and quite recently at work I went on a training course where I was delighted to discover something about my employers that actually very few employers could claim as an honest truth. They genuinely do value …
Wish I was….
going to TED tomorrow… I’m going to apply for a free place at next year’s I reckon 🙂
Grand Days Out (bumped!)
Thanks for the reminder Sarah 🙂 Right, well today was the day I was planning London and clearly we didn’t go there 😉 But Legoland? I think we were waiting to see if that Monday was feasible for Helen or not weren’t we? As I’m having enough of a nightmare trying to get shifts swapped …
