A warm feeling

Hot chocolate for the kids after school today with lots of scushy cream on the top. I bought some recently after a (guessing) 28 year gap since I last tried it. I think they must be putting a lot more sugar in nowadays - it's quite tasty (in an 'ooh aren't I naughty' kind of way).

I was in need of something a little stronger after an afternoon helping out in Conor's nursery, but restrained myself as Mr B's car is having one of its moods and I was expecting a 'come get me' call from the airport.

Watched the inauguration (did anyone else catch it? No, thought not.) Always very interesting watching that kind of thing with the kids: I don't think I actually heard that much of the speech what with answering all the questions about what he'd just said. The poem afterwards held Katherine enraptured and Conor was by then distracted by the train set behind the sofa so I could take a quiet moment to pile my own quiet hopes for what might lie ahead on top of what that man already has to deal with. Imagine your first day at work in that job.
