Jason just called me from the bottom of the stairs, v. solemn tone: ‘Katy! Help! (big pause while I rush to assist) There’s a mouse stuck in a trombone. Call the Wonderpets.’
Oscar still wandering around the house shouting; ‘Give me a walking stick! I need a walking stick!’ How does he know this? He is two. We have no walking impaired friends.
Tallulah to Oscar when I let them play out in the storm last night; ‘Now Oscar! You must be sensible. Listen to me. Don’t stand under a tree or you will be horribly killed. Alright?’
Oscar to me in the bathroom this morning; ‘Are those your boobs?’ I assent. ‘You had better put them away quick or the Please Man will tell you off.’
Tallulah doing her holiday project on food. Me: ‘What did you have for breakfast on holiday in France?’ Tallulah: ‘Cornflakes.’ Me: ‘No. What French thing did you have?’ Tallulah: ‘Shreddies?’

That made me laugh. Encore.

I so love reading your blog. And I’m so hoping that the driving lessons go well and that MP calms down and realises that you’re helping him.
AND I ABSOLUTELY ADORE YOUR ENTRY FOR THE VILLAGE FETE.
Derek is a heartbreaking work of staggering genius.

I haven’t had a chance to read Derek yet – I am catching up using the very slow laptop and it is driving me mad, so I will save it as a treat when I am allowed to use a proper computer again

I am trying. It has been a lean few days.

Thank you. I am very pleased with Derek myself.

He needs to be savoured. No rush!

Okay. First of all. Derek is a masterpiece. I adore him, although I fear to meet him in real life would be stressful as one would be in constant fear of upsetting him, such are his standards. Also, Kendall’s mint cake is the most disgusting concoction I have ever had the misfortune to sample. Thank you for reminding me of it.
Next. I particularly like Jason’s Wonderpets remark. Very funny. And do put your boobs away woman, quite frightening for a small child, I imagine.
Finally, I hope that the stress levels begin to go down for you and for Jason. I think that people will come to their senses. Although, is it possible that people are on a long downhill slide and are in fact loosing their senses and this is the reason behind all of the erratic behaviour?
Hugs for you -ooh, I’m sure you’ll be a tremendous driver! If I can do it, anyone can (and I hardly ever hit anything, hardly).

You sound better already. Kids ARE fun and funny, especially when they are not being a complete pain in the arse!
Now wandering off to read about Derek….

Wonderpets are insane. I don’t know what it is about them. Perhaps that on a more deranged day it sounds like something I could have invented.
I shudder to think re Derek. Trouble is that I know people like this.

I am sure the french pronounciation of Shreddies is actually Shredeez.

Still love the Please Man.
Derek is amazing! It needs to be published! Just off the top of my head I can think of at least 5 people that I would buy it for.
