One of those days today. There is a long, long list of things I could have done with the children, possibly even things I should have done with the children but I wasn’t in the right mood. I have been in a curious frame of mind today, slightly resenting having to look after children at …

So proud!
This is Davies’ first attempt at a self timer shot. He’s had a little digital camera since his fourth birthday but not really used it much. Both of the children are really into taking photos at the moment and for Davies particularly it’s something lovely for him and Ady to bond over. So he brought …
Not keen on the song…
but quite like the sentiment! Your Theme Song is Beautiful Day by U2 “Sky falls, you feel like It’s a beautiful day Don’t let it get away” You see the beauty in life, especially in ordinary everyday moments. And if you’re feeling down, even that seems a little beautiful too. What’s Your Theme Song?

Lay down that boogie and play that funky music til you die!
Up early with children this morning (6am – urgh!) so I did lots of organised stuff like getting two loads of washing done and on the line and getting croissants for everyone for breakfast. 🙂 Ady sorted a picnic out and we were off and away by 10am to The Sustainability Centre where they had …

I can see clearly now…
Lots of gallivanting today (and yes I know I am something of a gallivanter anyway 😉 ) and very nice / productive it’s been too. This morning I spent ages putting black ribbons in Tarly’s hair, finishing her zebra striped nails and painting stripes on her cheeks. Then I put coloured spikes in Davies’ hair, …
Stay (I miss you)…
Wore my glasses today as I’m getting though a bottle of eye drops every couple of days with my contact lenses atm. Need to sort that out really, but last year when it happened they couldn’t really explain it, it’s some sort of hayfever related thing which creates protein build up (or gunk as it …
Camping then…

Kids have ready beds and sleeping bags. Lighting We have various torches dotted around the place and a couple of head light thingies. Probably …
I’ll tell you who should move it, move it!
Today I have been mostly sewing a pesky King Julien outfit for Davies from a pair of charity shop curtains and quelling the little voice inside me saying that a) I’m crap at sewing, which is true by the way and b) actually home made costumes are a bit crap generally and all the cool …

I don’t know why she swallowed a fly…
Would love to do the witty deconstruction of that nursery rhyme but it has already been done to great effect by the wonderful Richard Herring (as previously linked to by Alison quite some time ago, so it seemed only right to link to it again as me and the children read it about six times …
Televisual Feast Night….
Location cubed is back 🙂 Oh how I ♥ Phil & Kirsty. Then there is a lull during which time I shall either watch The Apprentice that I missed last week and am currently taping off BBC2 or Dr Who also taped from Saturday and not watched yet. Then from 10pm FOR TWO WHOLE HOURS …
Hmmm
You Are Sunrise You enjoy living a slow, fulfilling life. You enjoy living every moment, no matter how ordinary. You are a person of reflection and meditation. You start and end every day by looking inward. Caring and giving, you enjoy making people happy. You’re often cooking for friends or buying them gifts. All in …
