Best Laid Plans and all that August 20, 2007

I’d decided that today I would start a campaign of putting the house to rights so that it was under control when I officially begin my study. I hadn’t bargained on the small boy and the lovely weather.

When Finn nagged at me to come and sit in the hammock with him I could hardly refuse. Leila even joined us for a while after her sleep. Then he insisted that we have lunch outside. Consequently nothing got done inside the house - although I did catch up on the washing.

All through July I cursed the wet weather that kept us indoors day after day. Now that the weather’s nicer I’ve been spending part of each day outside in the back yard. I need a day of rain to get some housework done
