Three little birds...

Some days (even when I'm away) are work days. Today was one. Miniman got taken swimming, had a trip to the park, had jelly, played with his pal and generally had a ball.

Tonight our plan was to celebrate Chinese New Year at the hotel Palarine. There were tears and tantrums when I said we couldn't go.

You know when you just know it's not a good idea to go out & drink? When you're sure that your child is already too tired. When you know that a couple of glasses of wine could make you snappy and grumpy?

It was the right thing to do. We said goodbye to the rest of the house. We had lemonade, jelly, Spider-Man on the tv, a cuddle on the sofa, chocolate chip cookies, a book at bedtime and I was forgiven. Sometimes it seems mummy does know best.
