{thinking} it’s been an odd week. From last weekend in London, birthday celebrations for Smallest on Monday, attempting so much stuff and managing so little, via a surge of grief on Thursday and then family gathering today. I could do with a holiday. On an island. With someone else doing the cooking. Please?
{grieving} again, always, suddenly, quietly, angrily, painfully. Sandbagged by grief, gut punched by grief, ambushed by anger, and sadness, and regret and loss. I’ve written a thing that I may not ever publish but do you know what? You don’t have the right to hurt people casually. In passing. In self justification. You just don’t.
{drinking} hot chocolate and baileys. If I can find the baileys. I’m sure we had baileys. How long does it last? The alcohol is a preservative right?
{watching} Mr and Mrs Smith. High body count, although mainly unseen, and quite neat and tidy. Apart from the person to person fight, which is rather unpleasant. (Had seen film before and edited that bit out. Odd.) Not a suitable film for young children, but our two had fallen asleep thankfully. Our first netflix outing 🙂
{receiving} lots of very lovely post. See instagram (feel free to follow me, I’m very low traffic on there, and it’s mainly sky and cups of hot chocolate) and also paragraph above 🙂
{eating} party food. Lots and lots of party food. And just in case we hadn’t had enough, we brought back extra cake. Sadly the children discovered they *do* like cream scones so I don’t get to eat 4 of them like I’d planned.
{reading} odd one. I started a netgalley last night, and I don’t know whether it’s possible for those files to corrupt or what, but it had loads of missing letters? I couldn’t read it. Can you feed that back to the publishers and get a new copy, anyone know? So that threw me off rather, so I don’t think I’ve finished anything this week. Which is annoying.

Snapshots
Smallest got older 🙂 She was wonderful and lovely, and so very proud of having cake and presents and post. Big made a big stride with her drawing, when she accepted that she was improving and was pleased with a picture. Small got his first pay packet, and spent it instantly on a game he’s been wanting very much. I assume he’ll be writing that up, he’s certainly been keeping copious notes. Tigerboy has been a bundle of mischief this week – I walked in the kitchen one day and he’d filled my coffee cup up with apple juice. He’s going to be a handful.
