Crowd Pleaser

K was a bit upset tonight when she remembered that her drama club was on a 2 week break, not just the 1 week of our half term. So this was a cheer up dinner for her. With perfect little sausages from these pigs and sprouts (her favourite, honest, their appearance on the table reduces her to a screaming fit of joy). Our son has the same but easy on the greens (having been born here he has that cliched Scots aversion to all things green - he's even a bit suspicious of green sweeties). Then ice cream (one of the few things that Conor will happily accept in its green form - choc mint).

One of those days when I seemed to achieve nothing. My laptop is still refusing to accept that there is a wireless network in the house (so no internet, no printing) so I'm having to borrow Mr B's desktop when he's not using it. I did, however, manage to audit our ski gear for our trip to Vermont this winter, and order the things we're missing. Doesn't the internet just sometimes give you too much choice? I only needed half a dozen things, but ended up ordering from four different websites.

Tomorrow will be a day of action... optician (still not happy with my camera focusing eye), computer shop (new wireless card?), documents to submit to court in interminable battle against evil over-charging lawyers, and baking some millionaire's shortbread and maybe a couple of loaves of bread.

Or I might just lurk on blip a bit.
