I miss quiet.

Sitting here just now with all the doors shut, the curtains closed, the tv off, and both children in bed. Quietest it’s been all day and makes me realise how much I crave silence.

Anyway, a much better day all round, apart from my stunning lack of brain at Lembas. I somehow managed to come away with the wrong size nappies, so I don’t have any disposables for my trip away yet. Drat. Big had a lovely afternoon playing with E, and Small is developing a hero worship thing for B, so they both enjoyed themselves. Nice to see Barbara again, and nice to have a bit of a break from home too.

Got my two loads of washing through, got to go deal with the kitchen, because we are up and out to swimming early in the morning. But instead, I think I’m just going to go to bed…g’night all.

  1. Which nappies do Lembas do? And did you realise they do Bambino Mio wraps too?

  2. They do Moltex, and couldn’t find the bambino mios, but given the sizing in the catalogue, I think that they do a different kind to the one I like.

  3. Last week was a real exercise in having head space; nobody to talk to for several hours a day was completely bizarre really!

  4. Lembas … worth a mention in anyone’s blog. Main source of our household groceries, etc. Never been there though!
    I know so well what you mean about silence!

  5. ahh, I LOVE quiet! Sometime when Ady abandons me to the laptop to go up to bed I turn the TV off and revel in the peace unknown during the kids waking hours…
