Saturday snippets 22 November 2014

{driving} I missed driving when I couldn’t drive. This week I have driven more than I want to, with small children. It reminded me of commuting, and it wasn’t fun. The positive side is that we can and do choose not to have that many weeks like this. And also that it’s a choice.

{feeling} very proud of my elder son, not for anything particularly specific, but for being overall a pretty good person to be around. (which isn’t to say that I’m not proud of the rest of them, but tonight Small was just lovely. And I’d like to comment on that.)

{thinking} of sad times and happy times. Had a twitter conversation about miscarriage tonight, and it sent me chasing off through the blog. Some of what I wrote I made private afterwards, at least partly so that I didn’t have to deal with spam comments on the posts. Some because of how personal they are, they don’t fit with the more commercial aspects of the blog. But I might go back and rethink. I’m not much of a one for anniversaries or commemorations, but at the same time, I’m not ashamed of my losses and I don’t want to hide them. Hm.

{eating} bring and share party food. Which was very good. Though it’s just occurred to me that I forgot to have birthday cake. Doh.

{chatting} on everything from Tudor costume to political issues with various topics in between.
