Desperate Housewife

William makes a welcome return on the blip front today as he shows off his new found talent of playing the trumpet. After only picking the instrument up for the first time 2 weeks ago, he is already trumpeting away 'hot cross buns' to a very high standard, it's great to see him enthusiastic about playing an instrument, I remember being dragged to violin and guitar lessons and hating it with a passion when I was his age. Needless to say I cannot play anything now and wish that I had persevered as a child.

Today has been a day full of greyness! The skies have been the murkiest colour of grey with horrible fine rain, the kind that almost stings you as it touches the skin. I long for blue skies and milder temps so that the kids and I can resume our outdoor life.

The other greyness was found on my head, a random glance in the bathroom mirror revealed a disproportionate number of wiry grey hairs sticking out, this has depressed me very much as I feel I am morphing into Susan Boyle pre BGT (and minus the amazing voice). Is it normal to be going grey at 33?

Tonight I will be consoling myself with a hot bath and Desperate Housewives of which I am most definitely one!

Re: 'dragging' comment, Mum don't be offended, i'm sure you never forced me to do anything!
