so much better

when the sun shines.

Dd and I had a major fallout this morning, when she did everything she could to wind me up (details not important at this point!) but things looked up round about lunch time when Barbara and co arrived. Very shortly afterwards we got an extra four year old, so that was the children pretty much occupied. And I got to have nice chats with Barbara, and dig the garden some more, so I feel like it’s been a good day.

Hoping that ds has a better night than last night – he just didn’t want to go to sleep! and that the extra four year old doesn’t get up too early…
