boring, boring, boring

watching a computer defrag.

So that was my working day.

Decent drive in. Reasonable drive in the dark home – saw my first shunt of the darker evenings. No one hurt, didn’t even appear to be any damage.

So actually home before children got into the bath, first time for that for a while. Not quite sure what happened while they were in there, but Small attempted to remove part of Big’s back, leaving a very nasty set of scratches across her. Took quite a while to persuade him that that was unacceptable, and that I did expect him to explain &/or apologise. 🙁

Eventually managed to have stories and puter time (one child with each adult, interchanging 😉 )

Then Tim and I got domestic, he sorted out washing while I hoovered throughout downstairs. And now I’ve just sort of waffled about doing nothing much, so I’m off to bed to do nothing much there instead. Early morning all round tomorrow – school day.
