Ahhh, we'll be having a break
Because we need one. We'll be off camping in the New Forest. We've booked a pitch through forestholidays.co.uk. Jonathan has worked hard and it's been hot. Leni is so sweet. But teething is annoying her.
Marla is shouting out of her bed room [10 pm!] trying to stretch bedtime with stories about the library bus at playgroup and ‘who is who's best friend at playgroup and why’, and any other stuff she can think of. Marla and naps. She can't make it through the day without one, she can't sleep at night, if she has one.
Quickly catching up:
- Jonathan had to work trough the last weekend and the girls and me went to visit Michael for paddling and playtime at Finsbury Park. For boating the kids had to wear life jackets. None small enough for baby Leni. Michael was kindly staying behind with her, chatting and reading the paper, while Marla and me were rowing the boat gently down the stream... not quite, just around the waterfowl island. Water fowl indeed.
- BBC3 showed ‘AFGHAN WARRIOR: THE LIFE & DEATH OF ABDUL HAQ
The remarkable story of Abdul Haq, warrior, peacemaker, visionary and martyr, whose fight to bring Afghanistan freedom and peace brought about his death.’ It might get repeated. Catch it, if you can. Sharpens the anger.
