satsumas and work

Hello all,
Kate's latest exloit at the end of most meals these days goes like this:
me - do you want any banana?
kate - na
me - would you like any apple?
kate - na
me - how about some raisins?
kate - na
me - cheese?
kate - na
me - breadstick?
kate - na
me - are you finished? Full up?
kate - na
me - satsuma?
she points at it and goes to take it
me - ok dude, I'll just peel it for you then
so I peel the orange, pass her a segment
kate takes the satsuma, looks at it, then throws it across the room and says na
this has happened pretty much every day this week
What does she think - that satsumas grow on trees?

Also, work is going really well. Kate is totally happy with the childminder and so I am too, but Leon says he doesn't like being told how many soiled nappies kate has produced when he goes to pick her up. As some sort of response to Mama Musings, I know exactly what you mean and when you do get back out there it really will get much, much better. I think our generation has been raised to work, which makes it so much harder and more admirable to commit your whole time to caring for your children. xx

So it all starts again

Day one of the new term and I am instantly thrown back into the firing line of the constant verbal abuse from a colleague. It has got so frequent that it is now ridiculously funny. I came home today and ranted at Mary about how unbelievable some of the things said to me are and realised i wanted to do more, so perhaps i might keep a record here of the things said..... i realise i should be careful about posting anything that could be read by anyone in the world, so protect the colourful characters of work i shall make everything up.

today's humourous offering

me ............ " good morning Mrs Splat, how was your holiday?"
Mrs splat........."you're wrong, you're wrong, you're wrong...... what did you say? ah never mind.... you're wrong anyway..... arsehole!"

school really feeds my sole you know.

I love my wife.

worming tablets

to anyone that knows me, please say to me "worming tablets!" next time you see me.....

As i have been writing the last post, the dog has been licking its arse constantly.
the sound is very off putting, and the sofa gets wet!

most westest hill in england

hunkering down and having lunch on the top of a hill in the sunshine down in cornwall very close to to landsend/cape cornwall. others in the photo are the awesome Knights, they really should buy a round table. This was one of the best walks with children i have ever done. Just love that walk straight out of your hired cottage in the middle of nowhere... find a 2400 year old ruin, see almost 360 degree views of sea and have cheese sandwiches that you didn't even make at the best out of the wind spot known to man. if it hadn't been for the "get orf me land" mentality of a couple of land owners it would have been perfect.
