We got up late and sledged and The Princess made more ice baubles because she’s always wanted to and it’s never been cold enough. Though overnight it snowed so we found out that that thing they say about snow being insulating is genuinely true – the ice baubles under the snow didn’t freeze overnight because … Read More
I was completely convinced this morning that we were going to be late and was more unreasonably stressed at The Jellicle Cat who was unbelievably patient.l considering I made her get up at half two in the morning and she’s not a morning girl at the best of times.

Nearly the end of my week off. I say week off, I’ve been working from home, sending emails and making phonecalls for the high risk guy I can’t go in for and prepping things for other client’s I’m working for at the weekend.

I am still on the most intense emotional rollercoaster. We won, but at great cost. Also The Princess, Britney and Bonsai Kaiju NPC’d! It was so very good.
