Not really sure where this morning went. The children did some stickerbooks – Davies started on an Usborne dinosaur atlas one but could probably have done with some support and Tarly did a ‘my first 100 words one’ which again she was capable of but probably needed slightly more cheerleading than I was up for …

Happy Birthday to….
Chris Raine 🙂
Mental Tupperware…
Is what I feel the need for right now. Lots of stuff going on in my head which I’m trying to sort through, categorise and organise – nothing bad or negative and I’ve a feeling it will all lead to positive stuff actually but a deep and ponderous time right now nonetheless. We did loads …

And this just made me PMSL
‘What will your obituary say?’ at QuizGalaxy.com which was good really, I could have died! 😆
Take this quiz at QuizGalaxy.com Which is close to what I thought I might have ‘No tools are stored in this grave overnight’ 😆

Keeping me warm night and day…
A lateish start this morning as the children finally slept in past 7am (only 8.30 mind you, but better than it could have been!). I did my usual act of sitting reading emails and stuff rather than getting organised and having read several references to happymais on Merry and Claire’s blogs I followed some links …
when you take the blues and make a song…
Lovely weekend. 🙂 Friday night about 2am (well okay then Saturday morning actually) Tarly appeared in our bedroom not really knowing what had woken her – within a few minutes it became apparent it must have been the first crack of thunder in a terrific thunderstorm. There was almost constant, blue, sheet lightning with loads …
Handed down treasure…
Early morning today as Ady left for work before 7am and Tarly was already up so I went and snuggled on the sofa with her, Davies joined us before too long and we watched some Discovery Kids. They started playing with geomags and toy animals (current favourite game again, I really must eavesdrop and find …
testing
😡 😮 😥 😐
And forgot to mention…
but I thought it was quite a big deal, that Davies made his own sandwich for lunch today. It did involve climbing onto the worktop using the handle of the oven as a foothold – a trick which Tarly taught him 🙄 to get the peanut butter out of the cupboard which I’d really rather …
Supernanny rode up on her trojan horse…
Been a far better day today all round. 🙂 It’s been slightly cooler which has helped a lot, and aside from my laptop claiming to have a virus which appears to be not causing any great harm other than the AVG warning popping up three times every time I start a new application to say …
Mad dogs and Englishmen…
As I said to Hannah the week before last and then spent ages trying to deconstruct it and make sense of it! 😆 This morning we took Malice back to the vets for a check up, so we were all out of the house, breakfasted and dressed prior to 9am. So we could do it …
Smiling at strangers
Tonight was book group. I walked there, it’s only about a 15 minute walk through alleyways. Partially because I needed to get out quick as the children and I were at consulting divorce lawyers point, partially cos I was so bloody hot I couldn’t face sitting in my car for even five minutes and I …
Too. Damn. Hot.
And I don’t like it. 🙁 I’m sure there are many activities this is the perfect weather for but none of them involve sitting in a house with two tired, grumpy children when you are a tired grumpy grown up really. Yesterday Davies and I were talking about birthdays and he started talking about his …
Found! :oops:
Someone – could it have been Chris French? – asked me if I’d still got their metal scissors from the kitemaking at camp. I said no. However, I have just found the bag of leftover kitemaking bits and bobs and there they were. Sorry! Will happily return them to the rightful owner!
I love to go a wandering….
Valdereeeee! Valderahhhh! Another lovely day today although way, way, way too hot for my tender colouring. 🙁 It was my Mum’s belated birthday celebrations today as her actual birthday was a week ago last Wednesday when we were in Scotland staying with Joyce and she was with a friend who shares the same birthday seeing …
Thanks Bonkers Sarah!
