I was going to write a proper post but can’t. Everything is just too effed right now. J cannot sit or stand up due to some virus… a virus that’s damaged the balance system in his head. Doctors didn’t say how long recovery will take or what he should do other than rest… Naturally he’s [...]

My 6-year old has been out of school for 25 days. My 3-year old has been out of nursery for 27 days. My husband has had an on/off fever and a chest infection for 12 days. My mother has been away in Estonia and bedridden with pneumonia for 17 days. We haven’t had a cleaner [...]

I’ve discovered that December really isn’t one of my favourite months. I mean it starts out all nice:

- in the beginning we have our wedding anniversary which we tend to spend in a spa all loved up;
- then school finishes with all the lovely Christmas plays and fairs and general excitement;

We had a week of summer in April and nothing in May and then again a few days in the beginning of June, but the past week has sucked freezing temperatures and gale force winds and rain and rain and rain. Yuck. I think I have one of them Seasonal Mood Disorder things – I am totally unable to get that “life’s a peach” feeling when I’m freezing… [...]

My mother’s gone to Estonia until January, so yesterday was my first day home alone with both kids.  They exhausted me :D Last night in addition to the fidget who sleeps in our bed, Oskar came to our room about 5 times every hour from 1am onwards. Today his stomach hurts, his ears hurt and [...]

It was our last evening in Portsmouth.  We decided at 4pm to take a taxi to the aquarium to look around for an hour or so before dinner to end our action packed mini-holiday.  I called a taxi and we headed to the lift at 4:10.  Shortly before the ground floor we came to an [...]
