Updates

I have shot my bolt artistically today. 

All my creative juices are in the Forest of Arden and Julius Caesar will just have to wait.

Updates are required though:

Bear’s birthday got abandoned due to fighting, hair pulling and all round bad behaviour. Bear claims she didn’t incite riot. I am not so sure. She has had her paw smacked and has been grounded for a month.

Jason had today off with a sore neck and the raging miseries.  Despite the damage being fairly minimal after an assessment at the garage, it is still going to cost £2000 to fix, simply because it is a new car and we have to get all the right parts. Eek! Thank goodness the other guy’s insurance is paying for it.

I went out driving for half an hour in the mini today. It turned me to liquid fear.  I have booked the initial consult with a hypnotherapy lady for next Tuesday.  Weirdly I had an hour lesson with my regular instructor later and it wasn’t half so bad. I wonder if it’s the strain of the newness of the car and having the family there with me? We shall see.

Tallulah is still waxing lyrical about school. Her teacher is off until Thursday in ‘meetings’. I wonder if this has anything to do with it.  I am still keeping my beady eyes peeled.

Julius Caesar was very shouty and bloody and stabby. Caesar looked a bit like a skinny Alan Sugar. I kept waiting for him to say: ‘Brutus! You’re Fired!’ very disappointing when he didn’t.

And that’s about your lot for today.

Tomorrow I am running away to London for the day.  I am going to Babylon for lunch and a trot round the roof garden.  Then I’m going to see the wonderful John Simm in a play called Speaking in Tongues and then I’m meeting up with some blogging friends for a drink or two before heading home.  I will not be back until late and so there may be radio silence until Thursday.

  1. Possibly driving with the children in the car is not the best idea. Far more distraction than you need right now.

    Have fun on your little daytrip.

  2. Ooh, absolutely, keep the family AWAY from the car until you’re a lot more confident. You need to concentrate on the road and not be distracted by what the kids might be doing in the back. That can all come later – and it will…

  3. Oh, and SO excited – just had notification from Amazon that the 3rd Stieg Larsson ‘The Girl who kicked the Hornet’s Nest’ has been dispatched! Just as I was about to look for something new to read, having just finished Philip Kerr’s latest Bernie Gunther novel!

  4. Also, thirdly? ‘Flashforward’ on channel Five. Big thumbs up.

    Mrs Jones
