Emer woke giggling. I nudged Rob to say it was time to get up. Linnea looked under my arm at Emer and said "He's happy!" and started to grin like a loon. Rob blearily looked at both girls and smiled an in-his-sleep kind of a smile.

Today has been just lovely so far. Linnea and I both prefer to stay home than go out - we seem to go out a LOT - so I've got a lot of laundry done, loads of reading (Linnea wants me to read to her again! It's been YEARS), playing in the garden, tidying, snacking, all good things.

I'm assembling a pile of outgoing post to send later, when the post is running again.

I like this broken telly thing

Made an easel, tidied and hoovered, did more laundry, read more books, danced, sang, ate together, played, cuddled, talked, washed. Linnea hasn't been dressed properly all day and appears to be thriving on it. I think I need to work harder on doing less; we're back up to going out to do things almost every day again.
