My talent is posting sideways pics, trumped only...
Or something.
It’s definitely something.
Pelican Pic.
That reminded me of when 16 was about five or six years old. He went with his class to a zoo for the day.
He returned not at all impressed. When I asked him what was wrong he told me he had been bitten, on the head, by a, “big beaky bird, the one that can carry fish in it’s mouth thing”.
It appears they had been told quite clearly to not go too close to the animals and birds....
Final installment of today's outing.
By the time we persuaded Youngest back into the car, after she had lain a few times on the grass. No, she didn’t so much want to stay, she was getting angsty, just she didn’t want to co-operate. I mean, where would be the fun in that?
Thing is, when the trip is over what ever patience Youngest did have is gone. So we had to sing.
We had several versions of Daisy, Daisy. Ranging...
I was just thinking, re. the pinning Youngest to...
Today's outing.
I’d forgotten how much fun it is having ALL the kids home. Actually, I hadn’t fully appreciated how much I had missed the eldest being here until he came back on Thursday.
Despite what can genuinely only be described as a mountain of laundry it is lovely having the house full again. Or complete. It feels complete.
Today has been a beautiful day. The sun STILL is shining, it is...

My heart leaps up when I behold
My heart leaps up when I behold A rainbow in the sky: So was it when my life began; So is it now I am a man; So be it when I shall grow old, Or let me die! The Child is father of the Man; I could wish my days to be Bound each to each by natural piety. William Wordsworth - 1802 What? You thought because I...
A visit.
Today I had a home visit from my youngest daughter’s psychologist. I am firmly of the opinion she schedules extra time for visits with me, she was here on one visit for three hours. Of course we have all the professional stuff to discuss.
However the visits are also fun. Like me, my daughter’s psych is from Northern Ireland. We have been known, in the middle of meetings, to joke...

Me: Did you order something from Amazon?
Him: No. Why?
Me: Oh something came from them with your name on it.
Him: Oh, where? Where? It doesn't have my name. It doesn't have ANY name on it.
Me: Oh, it did. I Tumbld it so I had to go over your name.
Him: OK.
Hubby's Birthday - continued. Suggestions wanted.
Hubby’s birthday is on Thursday. He’s going to be 40. If you read the first post I put on this second edition Tumblr, you would have seen our discussion on the Kindle. To be honest, I did tell him I’d get it for him if he really wanted, somehow. Of course the one he really wanted was the one that have voice-to-text. The one that isn’t released yet.
Added to this, I...
You just can't get a 14 year old to play along...
Me: When I come to the end of each line, I want you to say, "pea soup". OK?

14: ::mutter, mutter:: Pea. Soup.
Me: I was up all night and what did I do?
14: POO.
