{watching} Jericho (just finished season 1) and Continuum (just started season 2). Netflix has really broadened my horizons. We had #familyfilmnight on Thursday, How to Train a Dragon 2. Big in particular seemed to really enjoy it ๐
{reading} Nightbird. Just started it. Is drawing me in nicely though. And a good contrast to the last couple of books I’ve read.
{starting} to plot furniture upgrades for the living room. I won 35 Saint books this week, which are currently sitting in the middle of the floor in their box lid, as I’ve no shelf space for that many books. They’re beautiful though, and they’re calling to me. But I have so much on my TBR pile, real and virtual at the moment, maybe I could alternate a Saint back read, a new book…
{visiting} the library. Took the two littlies on a walk there, without the buggy. Turned out to be surprisingly hard work – Tigerboy walks really well, but he also runs really well, in any direction he fancies away from me. He thinks it’s all funny as he hides behind library, or shop shelves, takes down books and throws them around. It’s all just mischief, but he pushes the boundaries in ways none of the others have. And then he throws himself into my arms and says “I love you” and all I want to do is melt.
{wishing} I had a manual. For me, for my glitchy brain. A mantra that could stop me hiding from myself, turn off the fear and anxiety, wipe out the procrastination. I’ve read so much now around autism/ aspergers, but none of it is of practical assistance to the avoidance I’m engaging in at the moment. And I really do need to get to grips with it.
{feeling} sad that the parental visit had to be postponed. Snow in Yorkshire again – this time they couldn’t get out instead of us not being able to get in.

Snapshots
Big was in Winter league tonight, she seems quite pleased with her performance. Small is in a book devouring phase, back on the Antony Horowitz Alex Rider series. Smallest has had a difficult couple of days – she got very worked up yesterday and had some kind of hives come up. By the time I got her to the walk in they’d gone, but they came up again today. She enjoyed the library nevertheless, and chose a book on Elizabeth I, so we can start preparation for this year’s Kentwell background. Tigerboy is, as stated above, particularly 2 at the moment. And cuddly, and gorgeous. Today something he was wearing was squeaking as he walked, so I said I was going to oil him, and he decided that he was a robot. A squeaky tin man robot pattering about the house.
