And another thing

Antenatal classes in this area have all been cancelled; they are now only held at the hospital, so instead of everyone having access to classes somewhere they could get to easily, everyone must go to the hospital for much larger classes in much smaller spaces. Yeah. BUT this way is fairer because before, some areas had better provision than others; now it's crap everywhere.

Washing dishes

[Poll #1104344]

Muuuuum!

Today, for the very first time, Emer roared "Muuuum!" when she needed my attention.

(And wow, washing dishes is a comment-heavy topic!)

Telly

I think I could get into this. I've discovered that Dave, a channel which its adverts led me to believe was entirely made of unwatchable ick, shows a lot of funny panel shows at times when the children will allow me to watch them. I also found the "reset" section in the manual, so the automatic tuning works, so I can have radio again.

I have also been watching various Irish comedians on Youtube. Gosh. I need to pay more attention to these people.

Tomorrow I have a lot of cycling to do. The children's coughs are sufficiently reduced that I think I can take them to toddler group.

And people really get excited about washing dishes. Where does the word teatowel come from?
