{watching} Back to the future three. And regretting it. Interminably pointless and without any redeeming characteristics. Although it did kick off an excellent discussion about sexism in fiction and the Bechdel (sp?) Test.

{reading} My Big Shouting Day. Over and over again. And now smallest is reading it to herself. (I’m very impressed. I’d also like her to go to sleep.)

{eating} vegetable stew. With added lentils, which made it even more filling comfort food.

{sharing} my recipe for vegetable not toad in the hole on twitter.

{shopping} for winter walking shoes for me and coat for Small. They didn’t have a boy one in his side. I bought him a girls and he was quite happy with it. We’re getting more feminist by the minute. Or at least less sexist, or something.

{washing up} all the things it appears.

Snapshots:

{big} exploring the concept of religion and writing a book.

{small} nearing the end of his current year in Mathletics, and his current Septimus Heap book. Been a week of nearly there ness.

{smallest} lots of club penguin and noddy, but also handprint painting, peg board hammering and lots of book reading.

{tigerboy} tonight mastered somehow moving up over the one inch step between his cot mattress and my bed. He’s remarkably adept at being somewhere other than where he was put without actually visibly crawling.

    That’s funny, I was just thinking today that it would be nice to do a vegetarian toad in the hole that wasn’t simply Linda mccartney sausages, and wondering whether roast veg would work!
    Will have to look at twitter and see what you do ๐Ÿ™‚

      I don’t roast the veg first, just bung mushroom, leek, courgette into hot dish of oil, pour batter over and top with cheese. Bake for forty minutes or thereabouts, until batter well risen. Eat with gravy ๐Ÿ™‚
