Last week

A couple more photos to liven things up here. The top one is Rosie taken in Costa yesterday. It's not the greatest photo of Rosie but I love that it captures the current wildness of her hair. Believe it or not I had actually smoothed it down that morning with a damp brush but it has a mind of its own. I should probably get it trimmed but it's taken so long for her to get hair that I just can't bring myself to start cutting it off yet.

I call the bottom pic "Look! New Shoes". After I took it I realised that it's a very Elizabeth kind of photo so I must give credit to Ms Dunne for inspiring the quirky view. I'm very happy with my new Converse. The last pair were cream. Who buys cream canvas shoes in London?? They spent more time in the washing machine than on my feet. You can see that I've opted for more sensible black this time and, though they are what we called stoner shoes in high school, I am loving them.

We had a pleasant week last week and managed to keep busy while J was away. The highlight was having Elizabeth and MC over for dinner one night. It was great to eat and then let the kids play while Elizabeth and I had a chat. Just the kind of thing I'd love to do more often.

J came back a day early from Delhi so he arrived yesterday just after lunch. He arrived with stories of monkeys at his hotel window and cows causing traffic jams but no presents. No chance to shop he said but he did manage to deposit a little something from India in the loo this morning. It was like a bomb had been dropped in the flat. We literally had to open the windows to air the place out. Nice.

Things are back to normal today. Tobes had French this morning and I went to pilates then we all had lunch at the gym. Now Rosie is sleeping and J and Tobes are in the village. Life resumes.
