Closer to 21 weeks now in fact. I’m counting down in a reasonably big way. When I was pregnant with Freddie, it seemed terribly important to enjoy every last minute because I was sure he would be the last. Even with all this misgivings I had, I enjoyed it. This time it is harder to […]
Farewell Fiver
On Friday morning our perhaps most beloved of all of us rabbit, died. Max went out to find him stretched peacefully out in their mini house. There was no evidence of anything wrong, he was chunky ad his eyes were clear and no obvious swellings or anything. He wasn’t particularly old, just 4 1/2 years, […]
I think it's gonna be a long, long time.
Dear Freddie, Today you should be 18 months old. Such a very big age, so very firmly toddler. Walking with bits of talking, chubby hands holding mine on days out in the sun. Proper food, maybe even a proper chair at the table. Probably in your own room, maybe even weaned. Dirt clothes from making […]
This week we learned….
That Maddy is a stop motion animation genius. There are 700 photos in that clip, all taken on my iPhone with no help (and only a Lego built stand for it) and all the timing comes from her singing the song in her head as she did it. I put it into Windows Movie Maker […]
MADs and Maternity Wear
In 4 days time I’m off to London for the MADs Awards ceremony. For me, getting into the last 5 or 6 in two categories was winning really; I’ve not got anything like the following of lots of my fellow finalists and I’m not very prize motivated either really. Getting those votes and getting to […]
Thoughts on school.
Fran made it through her first week at school with her soul intact and a smile on her face 🙂 The pace of 3 lessons a day seems to suit her well enough, although in fact she had several free afternoons this week. As we are not yet in a routine and had some commitments, […]
19 Weeks Pregnant
Marmite has made it to 19 weeks and is still going strong 🙂 Yesterday my consultant and I agreed I am now half way. We have a date that should be Marmite’s birthday and a plan of sorts. The plan falls somewhere between mental health padded cell accommodation for me and the best and most […]
Tommy's 5 Point Pregnancy Plan – Make a difference.
I have walked out of a maternity unit leaving my dead newborn son behind me. I have driven home, unaware that I left the building in my pyjamas and walked across the car park in socks and stared blankly at the car in front for a 20 minute journey home; that car had a ‘baby […]
Practically helpless.
When I built my very first website, it was for an OU course I was doing that devoted an entire 30 points to learning how to search for things on the net, use basic html, find out how email and connected computers came to be (very interesting) and not write something biased and subjective. I […]
Excellent with Irritations.
We are having a pretty good week, for a last week when all four children are home educated. As of Monday, Fran is a has been 😉 She’s been working quite hard this last few days, finishing off some of the formal work she’s done over the last little while, doing a bit more cello […]
