Happy new year
Frosty morning in the garden. Decided against making resolutions, as all that happens is I feel bad about failing and then give up trying. I have a whole stack of planners, and I’m looking forward to doing some work with JKP books reviewing some stuff on executive function. I am going to let my…
The tale of Mr Tod
We went to the theatre this evening. It’s a small theatre, recently built by Red Rose Chain with a lottery grant I believe. We’ve seen them before, at theatre in the forest, which is usually a fairly dramatic production – we’ve seen a variety of different Shakespeare plays. This was very different. An adaptation…
Once upon a time
This blog was just a record of our days. And I love looking back on those days, and I miss writing them up. So I’m going to try to bring that back a little. Today Small got his braces on. Slightly confused that they didn’t clean his teeth before they applied them, going to follow…
Happy birthday to me.
Late morning after another disturbed night – Tigerboy has a cough. Even later morning for the children, but then it was softplay and skating this afternoon (poor unsocialised home educated children that they are, after a week away with friends last week!) and I treated myself to a deluxe hot chocolate. And then, on the…

The picture unseen
I take a lot of pictures every day these days. Maybe two or three make it to instagram, or my fb page, or sometimes here. Quite a lot just don’t fit the mood and they languish, on camera, on ipad. Like this flower. One of the blooms that I think will be polished off by…
A chink in the clouds
Sunrise at 07.21 – I was there maybe ten minutes later, just in time to see the sun peeping through clouds. Within ten minutes it had greyed out completely, so I think I was lucky. I drew during support group, while listening. And failed to buy jeans for blogfest on the way back, because…
Things I love about netflix – the musical version.
Today is the anniversary of the first airing of Buffy Season 6 episode 7 the musical episode also known as Once More With Feeling. We started a tradition last year of watching it and singing along, and tonight we continued that tradition. Handily, it’s all on Netflix 🙂 I think that’s what I like most…
