Finished the Mitford Sisters on Sunday night and handed it over to mum on Monday. It was a super read, really fascinating. It was also well-written and easy to read, very important when dealing with biographies I think!

The Child has been terribly clingy and stroppy this week, I think because she misses her daddy, who is on experiment and out of contact (no phone, no webcam, limited email, working 18 hour days). We have been keeping our expeditions short and sweet as my nerves and patience are pretty much shredded now, probably not helped by the fact that I am premenstrual. So we have done a lot of reading, lots of cuddling and lots of children's TV (hurrah for Cbeebies!).
