Flag Fen was good, kids all seem to have enjoyed it. Fran pronounced it “brilliant” and has unveiled plans to be an archaeologist. Wouldn’t surprise me, i can quite see it. Though she’d have to be better at filing and order than i’m likely to be able to teach her! They all seemed to enjoy […]

Had the bright idea of resurrecting the TT this week, who really isn’t a Temporary Teenager at all, so i shall call her S from now on. Booked her for 2 days this week, hoping this would get me back on track. Girls suitably delighted and all has been very peaceful today. S can entertain […]

Happy Offically Not At School Day Maddy. So, how long before the LEA phone up to tell me she is a ‘WASP’? Can i have your bets please, ladies and gentlemen?

Amelie loves this song at the moment, i think i could probably record a cd which was just “Bad Day” interspersed with the odd other things and it would suit her just fine. She calls it, at times, the “magic is lost” song – spawning the comment when Max started the cd at the wrong […]

Mondays feel really weird at the moment, totally flat. I don’t like it.

I’m planning on going to Flag Fen on Wednesday. i’ve got no idea if they do a group rate, i have no idea when the kids go back to school, i have no idea if it’ll be busy. But if anyone wants to come too, feel free. I’m gonna squeeze every last OUNCE out of […]

The plan for this weekend was to go classic car racing, but as it approached i have to admit, i wasn’t feeling in the mood. I don’t mind classic cars, i can enjoy it, but not for a whole weekend and not when i can think of better things i “should” be doing. Plus a […]

A good day is followed by an awful one. And mostly, except for the houseful of people bit, it really was awful. Maddy and i are fast coming to serious blows; i felt terribly sad the other day when she told me i wasn’t her friend anymore, just her mummy. Sigh. Maddy and i have […]
