    {travelling} to London and back again, specifically to Maggie and Rose in Kensington. Fun venue. Tempted to redecorate now 😉 Made for a long day but was worth it. Am rather regretting carrying a small sleeping boy on the tube without making a fuss about getting a seat, as I’m now walking with a limp.…

    {watching} Ribbit (Amazon pre order link). Full review to follow (with giveaway!) but the younger two kids really enjoyed this. Evening watching is currently Once upon a time on Netflix. Which is oddly gripping. Even if it is just fairly tales. #StreamTeam {reading} nothing right this second, but I read Only Ever Yours last night.…

    {feeling} incredibly tired. So tired that I can’t quite see straight. (So why am I blogging instead of going to bed?) Because it’s snippets. Obviously. {enjoying} so very much experimenting with art and colour, drawing, shape and form. I’m looking at the world differently – colours are pinging out at me, and I’m spotting blossoms…

    {drinking} a whole variety of different, calming teas. There’s a rather nice Green Tea with lemon and honey from Tetley, some glorious organic chamomile from Napiers Herbs, and a whole marvellous selection from Nothing but tea – I’m loving the Roiboos with a variety of different fruit flavours, particularly Raspberry. {enjoying} our first Kentwell outing…

    {watching} Pretty in Pink. Which wasn’t what we cued up for family film night. We’d found some Adam Sandler comedy that we thought would do nicely, but when the time came Small was too busy with his game, so he went off with the DS and the small children as his audience, and we watched…

    {watching} Lilo and Stitch for family film night. Which was apparently scary and mostly sad :/ Smallest burst into absolute sobs when she thought Stitch was being taken away, and had to be cuddled and persuaded to go on watching, and I don’t think is going to forgive us for some time. Oops. (I remembered…

    Getting funky with photography.

    I bought myself a new toy this week. Last week. I started playing with it this week. It’s a photo tent, with two lights, a camera stand and a bunch of backgrounds. Cool, isn’t it? I don’t have the first idea what I’m doing with it. Or what I want to do with it. I…

    {sleeping} mainly. I got up with the children, but went back to bed with a headache. Next time I woke up it was 3 o’clock. Which was a bit of a surprise. I still don’t feel completely right, but I obviously needed the rest. {watching} The Hunters. Which was better than the 4.9 it gets…

    {spending} yet another evening in the leisure centre. Presentation evening this time, and Big got a great haul of medals, cups and even a shield. {watching} Warehouse 13. We needed a new program for watching in the evenings, having finished Jericho and run out of Continuum. This is quite fun, reminds me of Eureka (still…

    {Completing} my tax return via Simple tax. Go me. Am so putting in place a better process from now. {Feeling} kind of muddled. {Watching} a whole range of stuff. We finished Jericho, which was a more satisfactory half conclusion than I’d expected, but I’d love to see the full arc as originally planned. So many…
