Today is another day

And I’ve already had a thought provoking discussion with Tim about abortion and feminism, done some weaving with Big and a jigsaw with Small. Doesn’t sound like much I know, but I didn’t wake up til nearly 11 🙁

My body clock is completely out of whack with what the clocks on the wall are showing, as is Small’s. I know Joyce likes the daylight thing, but I’m not sure I’m with her on this.

Work is stacking up, which is good on the making a living front, but bad on the responsiveness to clients and hours in the day areas. So this afternoon, I’m going to combine education and work – Big will do some more design work for me, while I make another simple list of chores.

To update yesterday, no, we didn’t find or read the library books, although we did make pizza together. Maths came in the form of baking and starting to measure the dolls house for redecoration. I did stuff some squares in envelopes and update the swap list with whose stuff I’ve received, but we didn’t make it to the post office. And if I don’t get on with some stuff, we aren’t going to make it today either.

Right, kitchen excavation and lunch time.

  1. Crikey that *is* a thought provoking discussion for a friday morning! Are you going to enlighten us on your views? Whats on the agenda for tomorrows discussion – famine, religion? (although the latter is an entire discussion all by itself)
    I can’t cope with the change in time either and it takes me all summer to catch up then they go change the bloody clocks again 🙁

  2. Hello Jax, have just changed the address of my blog to http://www.blogofpies.blogsp... etc, just thought you might need to change the link you have on your blog.
    Hope you catch up with the change of clocks soon!!

  3. Thanks Stella, have done. Now you’re going to have to see if you can find out who else linked to it and has lost it… 😉
