Something like a blip

Early evening, no photos taken all day so grabbed the phone as Anna was asking for "something like a water bottle" to put a drink in. It is an annoying trait we are attempting to mock her out of. We have had some recent success with the same method with literally so we are hopeful. The harder line method is to threaten to ban the "awful" programmes she loves to watch and I blame for the annoying inflections.

Of course I could just be becoming a grumpy old woman.

Though not from about 4pm when I pretty much put down my laptop and notebook and pen and whacked the pause button on work. A few things to keep ticking over with a phone call and email here and there but essentially I am shutting up shop for the summer. As I put down the phone on my final webinar at midday I spontaneously burst into "Holiday" by Madonna.

Two days of packing and sorting and the great migration south can commence. I may be a tiny, little bit like excited.
