Attic..........

..................light again (and some rain coming in)..............and introducing the raggedy dress.

Last day of school holidays for us in Edinburgh...............always feels sad. We had to find the elusive black, size 1 plimsoles for John today as the size 2s I'd bought ages ago are like boats on his skinny feet. On the way home, I stopped for petrol then got back in the car. John was sitting up front in the car. He turned his face away from me and was so akwardly contorted I had to ask what he was up to.

"NOTHING"!!

I asked him what was wrong.......I was getting a bit worried and as I was driving couldn't turn him toward me.

"tell me NOW what is wrong" I was getting more worried.

"NO...........I don't want to talk about it"

"TELL ME NOW"

"You'll get angry with me"

"I'm getting angry now........turn round and tell me what's wrong"

He turned to reveal a bloody nose................

.........."have you been picking your nose"?

"NO"!!

"tell me how that happened" I said trying to reach for a napkin that was on the back seat.

"I accidentally got a tic tak stuck up my nose.........I had to blow it out and it wouldn't come out to start with, then it came out like a huge bogie"

"well you won't do that again will you"?

"I DON"T WANT TO TALK ABOUT IT.............I WANT TODAY TO BE OVER"!!!!





My feet look huge in this.........they're not, they are size 5 but are very very horrible. Kevin reckons I only have 2 real toes.........
