Today the children watched six episodes of Father Ted while I did stuff. I wondered why it was rated 15 until they came away delightedly shouting 'Feck off!' 'Girrls!' and 'drrink!'. I wonder if anyone who knows about these things could rate Feck on a swear scale of 1 - 10 for me. Just so as I know. They have two grannies to visit in the next four days and one is not known for her sense of humour...

E had to make his own belated birthday cake today after having patiently asked for nearly two weeks now. It was a specialist cake. Raw flapjack mixture.
