oh now that's annoying.

Big has come home from school with the titles of two music books she needs: Recorder Magic: Descant Bk.2 (Instrumental Music) and Piano Time: Bk. 1. Obviously at that point I’ve got to make the order up to £15, so I went browsing the crochet books and came across Cool Girls Guide to Crochet. That looks great for Big, I thought, I’ll see if I can find any reviews of it. Typed it into google, and what comes back in the first page of the search results? Me, wondering about buying it last year.

But no reviews. At least it’s gone down in price since then.

I’m thinking that I should dig out the blog I started on our mu wordpress site and start doing reviews a bit more often. Maybe I’d get a pile of traffic that way. It’d probably mainly be me though, forgetting I’d already read the books.

Another long day at work, bad drive home. Big had a strop at school this morning, so I arrived in the office flustered. I could almost do with a longer drive between the two sites to let myself calm down. But not really. And I just lost at scrabulous to Kris by 5 points!
