Mark hurt his back yesterday whilst tossing Linnea around in the air. He texted me at 5.45 this morning to say he hadn't slept, thus knees were bad... sigh. Not a great start to the week. I saw Ian off to the train station and then Linnea and I had breakfast, watched some beebees, and played with... um... can't remember. I think it was some cars in ( Read more... )

Woke up at 6.30, ah lie in! I had bread and butter for breakfast and Linnea helped me spread the butter. She had cheese and half an apple. She had a cup of tea, i.e. hot water with milk. Is that weird? Probably no nutritional content but she loves to stir it and one of her favorite imaginary games in general (and in the bath) is 'cup of tea?', ' ( Read more... )

• Ate lunch and made small talk with Libby.
• Walked home in blustery rain.
• Did dishes. Lots and lots of dishes. And cleaned out the cutlery drawer.
• Did an online grocery shop.
• Double checked bills as old bank account still not totally transferred over. Not a single DD transferred across automatically like they were supposed to.

was less than swell. Ian was tired and cranky (about Linnea waking him up at 7 am - that was a lie in of 1.5 hrs since we'd been up since 5) and in the afternoon I got awful cramps (having only been free of them for a week and a half WTF). It was rainy but we hit the grocery store for some ingredients. I made angel food cake which I wanted to be ( Read more... )

Linnea really didn't want a nappy. So she went to bed (her bed, which has the waterproof mattress) in just pjs. She did end up in mine and I was too tired to realise so it wasn't until I woke up at 5 this morning with cramps that I went, AAAAKK - no nappy! But she was dry! :D Then she went to the potty to pee three times in a row, so she definitely ( Read more... )

Sewing project nr 3 is nearly finished but I broke my needle so it's stopping time tonight, but I really only need a new needle, a thimble, and 20 minutes til completion.

Linnea's Christmas money is all spent now, the last went on the ultimate pair of waterproof trousers, with adjustable waist, ankles, suspenders and stirrups. That match her mac and ( Read more... )

After the Big Clean we had the Leftovers Lunch of Glory. Then we played with the bums' toys again, watched Monsters Inc. in a pile on the couch and baked bread ( Read more... )

Both for the lack of having to express and the time to let myself be braindead a little longer. I'm still struggling to get back into work mindframe but today it didn't matter because except for one meeting I was just setting up form letters on PAS. Time consuming, meticulous, braindead work. Perfect. Had the 'flu jab,' mainly for convenience and ( Read more... )

Should be busy doing chores instead of surfing.

Jenny came over yesterday afternoon and we had raisins and popcorn and watched Arn. Which was the worst film I've seen in a long, long time. Why was it so bad? From what I gather from her, having not read the trilogy or seen the original two films myself, it's quite a big, political story. Despite the ( Read more... )

Cycled to work. Cycled home. It's uphill both ways. My plans to cycle to the boathouse and do an erg be damned. My legs are like overcooked noodles and I was hoping to jog tomorrow so, um, no. There's still next Wednesday... and then it's gonna be really busy ( Read more... )
