School stuff

All at sixes and sevens about starting school, we have a school place at a good school but Little one Sr (and me) fancy another one. It has a good hill that you can scooter down and lots of his friends go. The other one is on the way to Husbands work and I have been put off by the fact that none of the other Mums there seem not to want to speak to me (infact there was even some muttering that it was a shame that children from "the estate" making the class sizes too big).

Loving the whole party and play date etiquette. Little one Sr took his friend a bunch of flowers and some eggs and in return has had a lovely homemade thank you card. I think later we will make her an invitation to our house. It is funny that we encourage our children to use a level if courtesy worthy of victorian society whereas I just say "Ta" and communicate via facebook.

Little one jr had a party at the weekend and was given lots of toys, he has developed a passion for some small wooden horses and goes mental if he does not have one in each hand. The thing that they are meant to do is hide inside the "mummy horse" but the look of horror on his face when I put his little horses in the big horse was something to behold and I think we will just have to let him crawl along covering them in snot, dirt and dribble instead.

Today I am listening to Kate Bush, bonkers and beautiful genius.

Pork pies for breakfast

Feeling very sorry for self today. Had a party for little one jr yesterday. It was very nice in the sunshine with old friends and new babies. Of course after they went to bed (the new babies) we drank to much. Well actually I drank to much because what seems a normal amount of alcohol to other people makes me "tramp drunk". Anyway, I fell asleep on the lawn and did not want to wake up this morning.

I am being very slack indeed today and after dropping Little one Sr. at nursery I have put little one jr. in at the childminder and I am home alone eating left over pork pies for breakfast and contemplating the cleaning/washing/ironing.

Would like to see this

Brenda is the don

Well, I have lost a bit of weight. Largely due to this over sinewy lycra clad goddess of indeterminate age

YOUR BODY DESERVES THIS GREAT WORKOUT - in italian!

A flurry of activity and then silence

That is what has happened on this blog so far

Good things recently

I saved a baby sparrow from the cat
Springwatch filmed at Jims work
I met my nephew Lorne
Little one sr. has started visiting his new school and loves it
Little one jr. has had his first birthday
The vegetables are growing nicely and the garden is flourishing
Little one sr. spontaneously told his Dad that he was lucky that he was his Dad!

This sums up life right now



Enjoying baths with the kids, playing on the lawn, stories about trains.

Loved going to London and the dusty heat of the underground trains, it reminded me of when I moved there when I was 17 - All full of possibility and thinking that my life could be like a novel. It isn't like a novel, not even a really slow joanna trollope job but I like it.
