Strange sad day and ending with a healthy dose of fear :-/
I've always been fairly determined not to let things like terror levels stop me (outside of common sense and actual advice) but I have to admit I'm quite unnerved that Mum is off to the Chelsea Flower Show tomorrow. But she is and of course with the terror level raised in a way she's probably more safe because everyone's on alert. But still.
Watching the reaction from Manchester has been heartening though ♥
(but if it were possible without messing with the freedom of the press I would ban all contact between journalists and the victims' families for at least 48 hours after a tragedy... preferably longer or with some kind of "wait till they call you" clause. Grieving mothers and fathers and friends should not be all over the news and neither should people who are so scared you can see them physically shaking. We know they're sad and upset but intruding like that is quite literally harming people)
And that has been my rant for today. I've been getting quite upset about it.
This afternoon I gave the Rainbows beach balls and hula hoops and we basically messed around in the sun. I wondered if any of them would talk about it (it's happened before) and wanted to leave unstructured time just in case but actually they play piggy in the middle and taught each other to hula and were almost entirely adorable. I mean not entirely, if they had been I'd have been worried :-P
Well this was a bit of a brain dump. Sorry about that.
My happy thought at the moment has been this adorable family with their premature quadruplets. Three out of the four are home now and have just had their first baths and their parents & big sister are clearly super stars.
