There, that feels better.

I’ve been sat here all evening trying to write something on request, and I’m getting nowhere. Think I’ve churned out a couple of thousand words, shame nanowrimo is over.

Oh well.

It was a good day otherwise – decent journeys, after I gave up on waiting for Big to get herself dressed and dressed her myself. Only thing I couldn’t find this morning was Small’s hat – I’m sure it was there yesterday.

They had a good day, although Small did contrive to stick his head through some railings. “Head…in” he informed me proudly, showing me the red marks. Well, top marks for communication, although not so many for intelligence there really 😉

Big has cracked tying bows, and apparently her teacher is very impressed with her mathematical abilities. Methinks that someone is hoodwinking me over the Exeter stuff! And today she’s learnt about verbs, adjectives and nouns. I’m quite impressed, anyway.

Right, I’ve got to go to bed.
