One more tale of woe

Poor me.

Cameron left for Japan* at 7 am on Saturday: I was left to shiver achily under a blanket on the sofa while the children trashed the house. (I am still full of cold and yet to find the energy to pick up all the bits from every single jigsaw we own and sort them into the appropriate boxes: it is a good job Cameron is still away as he doesn’t tolerate bits on the floor terribly well.)

Tamsin fell off a bridgey thing at Tumbletots on Monday and smacked her head on the floor. I am hoping that is her third thing and she will be ok now: she is such an urchin with hacked hair, pointy teeth and a bruise. She does have a whole lovely new winter wardrobe though, as I got a bit carried away at Mothercare.

On the very bright and exciting side: Maggie brought home her very first reading book last week and (mostly) read it to me! Am very proud.

*so I was already sulking.

    How’s Tamsin’s hair looking now? Did you get it tidied up?

    Well, I took her to the hairdresser who evened it out a bit, but unfortunately could not stick on a fringe! She looks vaguely cute and pixie-ish from one angle but like she has been scalped from the other 😉
    Fortunately she is too young to really mind, though she did keep looking in the mirror and feeling her head! And keeps asking me to put bunches in, which I can’t do.
