And I still have a headache.
Just about to order a new router, as we’ve failed to get vpn running with our existing (rather expensive and theoretically quite capable) one.
Big is building enormous duplo constructions (must add duplo to both their Christmas lists) with great patience and planning.
Small is blundering about shouting ‘Mummy, mummy’, and signing but I’ve no idea what he wants. Hate that – used to be that he barely needed signs to communicate with me, and now I don’t even know all his signs. 🙁 We have had two new words this week, ‘me’ and ‘banana’. Second one was a bit of a breakthrough, given that he finally realised I can’t see his signs when he’s in the back of the car.
Big and I finished the first Ballet School Diary last night, and dripped our way through the last chapter together. Goodness knows why, we’ve already read books three and four, so we knew how this one was going! But one of the things about reading out loud is that I tend to get overly emotional about the story concerned, and I think she just found it catching.
Right, first load of washing is almost done, I need to get another one in, handwash Big’s ballet stuff, and we need to go out to buy wellies and indoor shoes, as well as food for the coming week! I was thinking about the library too, as I’ve a very overdue book, but I’ve no idea where it, or the children’s, books are 🙁
Somewhere this weekend I need to find the time to write 5000 words, as I’m falling behind with Nano, mainly because last night I was too tired to sit up, let along write coherently. Not that this novel is particularly coherent tbh, but I am very much enjoying the challenge of writing every day. If it gets me back into the writing (fiction!) habit, then it will have achieved everything I’m hoping from it and more.
Happy birthday to all those little ppl around the blogring who are celebrating, seem to be lots of you around this time! Lots of romantic parents perhaps? 😉

Not much romance here, LOL! But Isabelle was part of a phenomenal baby-boom round here last year.
Hope the headache gets better quickly and the words flow fluently!
I often get weepy when I’m reading aloud, but C just gives me a ‘oh. no, not again’ look when I do 🙂
Lots of our duplo came from a car boot sale. Mum bought it intending it for my cousin’s nursery, but I intercepted it, and it gets played with lots here too.
Yep all ours came this way also! AND in the summer I got tons for the shop play area for a tenner! Marvellous toy.
I cry if the wind changes, or if it doesn’t, or if it might or……
You want some of our surplus Duplo? I have some that we use and some that sits in a hole coz I don’t have the space – you’re welcome to it if you want.
