I missed the 3 Kings cake today, as I travelled to the UK today. Patrick and I had one at Caroline's last weekend, and she found the King! I was deeply jealous, I never get the small plastic King, or the crown!

This week has been a bit of a mixed bag. I worked from home all week and certainly had a couple of later starts, but didn't need to sleep at lunchtime like last week. Made progress on clearing old tasks, getting projects done. But several times it felt so hard to concentrate and my brain felt as though it were tramping through mud ( Read more... )

This has been a really difficult week. Alan was left for the US on Weds morning, and won't return until tomorrow. I'm proud of myself for getting help to look after boys (Nisha, Matthew, Annemie) and very proud of myself for still managing to fit in all my runs and gym sessions ( Read more... )

Woke up to freshly baked croissants, then it snowed in the morning, then I went for an introductory coffee and chat re coaching and passed this fab Christmas Tree at Enge ( Read more... )

It's Friday and we have the first dusting of snow, hardly anything to talk of, but enough for the boys to get excited ( Read more... )
