Yay Soup

      No Comments on Yay Soup

Because obviously, in this era of the internet, one must post pictures of their food as often as possible. It’s not plated or posed or Photoshopped — it’s just soup that I made tossed in a bowl, ’cause eating it straight out of the slow cooker is probably not the best idea. I had two bowls for dinner last night,… Read more »

To Actual Scale

      No Comments on To Actual Scale

No, obviously my child isn’t the size in this picture, ha ha. But a parcel came in for Z that wasn’t due today, so I asked her to stand there for comparison. He figured out what it was and that it had actually come two days early, so at least that mystery was solved. And at least it was solved… Read more »

Lulz, Nope

      No Comments on Lulz, Nope

To cut a long story short, the girls didn’t go to school today. I’m not convinced that they were poorly enough to actually need to stay in, but they did. But I did manage to grudgingly manage to bathe, so that was the main thing. I can usually power through and make myself do it before I get too gross,… Read more »

The Last Day

      No Comments on The Last Day

Today is the last day of the kiddos being quarantined from school. Tomorrow… is the last day of school. I’m glad that they get to go in, and they’re glad too. And, thankfully, we all held it together today on the whole. I am feeling a bit cruddier, but like… at least tomorrow I just have me to take care… Read more »

Toast

      No Comments on Toast

Today was another day on the Toast Train. While everyone is feeling better, we’re all taking it carefully. Knock on wood, everyone seems to be just about out of the woods. Well. I’m starting to feel a bit dicier, but that might also be in my head. Ah well, at least I got us more bread. And yes, I was… Read more »

Seating Still Available

      No Comments on Seating Still Available

Whatever tummy bug Littler had has now spread across the family. Smalls has been hugging her bucket all day, while Z has been sleeping. My guts aren’t great, but I’m probably the best out of the lot of us. Smalls and Z are upstairs resting for now, while Littler just helped me make dinner — or an attempt at. I… Read more »

Unexpected Repeat

      No Comments on Unexpected Repeat

I woke up this morning to find a bit of snow had fallen. It wasn’t much… really, it was just enough to turn the entire village into a skating rink. It suffices to say that I was very happy that I didn’t have to go out into it, and Z was happy that he didn’t have to walk both kids… Read more »

All the Good Things (And Other Things)

      No Comments on All the Good Things (And Other Things)

Last night’s Christmas dinner was lovely. We knew that the food was excellent from last year, so it made it an easy pick for this year (and we’ve already said yes to coming back next year). E and I had a good old natter, we had a nice meal; it was what we probably both needed. Today… today started off… Read more »

Trying Not to Let My Brain Explode

      No Comments on Trying Not to Let My Brain Explode

Today’s picture comes to you compliments of tenacious snow-people shapes. It rained overnight and washed away most of the snow and ice, but there are still bits trying to cling on. It amused me to see three gardens in a row with shapes, so voila. Today’s subject line comes compliments of Mabel from Gravity Falls. While she was referring to… Read more »

All the Waiting

      No Comments on All the Waiting

Today, I was waiting for a package being delivered by Hermes. The last week and change where we have had deliveries from them, they haven’t knocked on the door and we were starting to get a bit ticked. Then Z realised the doorbell batteries had gone flat again, and got those changed before Hermes showed up today. Lo and behold,… Read more »
