“Mummy can we read a pinot?” says small human, grasping DC Thomson’s finest to her chest. Her confusion of “b” and “p” is cute but I do live in fear of the looks on the day she says “have” not “read” as we traipse around the supermarket.

Mum’s hydrangea game is insane. As is her hoarding, kiddo is living this summer in my childhood dresses 😍. The mango is apparently her “baby sister” 💔.

Kiddo sports day this week, doing some situational prep with her,: « do you know what happens in an egg and spoon race? » « Yes, you have an egg, put it on a spoon… » I think to myself - ‘wow, didn’t expect that’… She continues… « And then you lay it » and she squats and mimes laying it…

Took kiddo to a high street book store today to spend some birthday money. We walked in with three, crisp new £10 notes, Scottish notes that had been lovingly encased in cards by relatives and sent to us here in the far south. We browsed, she chose, I helped her choose better (😉)…

No kiddo pics (but trust me she was cute today) so here I am grinning maniacally with the cake I managed to bake and ice despite the heat. Kiddo’s wish to eat pavlova abandoned after the second attempt to make meringue failed. She ate these sprinkles only. Keeping me humble for three whole years.

Making the kiddo’s new denim jacket more fun! Jacket cost £12 in the sale, dare not count cost of patches so far 😅. Birthday next weekend so feeling pretty ahead of myself.

Ok I have seen a GOOD APRIL FOOLS JOKE in the wild. My kids comic (Phoenix - home if @jamiesmart.bsky.social) comes in an envelope every week, we open it, had a fake cover for a soup review mag like we’d been sent the wrong thing. Genius!

We move this week and Mum has taken the cats for a few days to help them be less stressed. The small human is asleep. Fuck me, the house is quiet. My nervous system doesn’t know how to cope without some small creature twatting something off of surface every ten mins or so.

Small human likes to ask what things are about. Must admit that answering that question about listening to “the sound of music” was a struggle. “So, there was this nun” “What’s a nun” “Ummm… so, its songs about how music is nice”.
