Sumup

Friday night I started feeling massively unwell and went out to dinner and for coloured drinks with friends. Slept at a hotel - first time in 2 years I had 7 hours uninterrupted sleep. Maybe longer. Then farmers' market in the morning, back to feed Astrid, and sundry housework. We did a massive grocery shop and started the process of laying a new floor in the back bedroom.

Sunday I bought storage things while Rob brought the girls to Meeting and then I met a friend to discuss education and special needs and after all that we did more flooring. Monday evening Rob was late home, as usual, and Lucy helped us with the flooring.

Monday daytime I did tons of laundry and dishwashing and tidied the garden.

Today I basically cleaned the house, didn't strangle the children, ate, and felt sorry for myself. This too shall pass.

Another thing is Linnea's had antibiotics for almost two weeks I think. Over now. But four doses a day, two hours after eating, and no food for an hour after each dose. Very limiting.

We're still harvesting tons of blackberries and eating a lot of clafoutis.

Riots

So about these riots.

I've been waiting for them, honestly. I haven't been able to understand how people weren't rioting ages ago. I think the riots are wrong and cruel and stupid and I don't condone them but I've been waiting for them.

I don't know what people should do next, except follow Linnea's plan for the mean boys in the softplay centre; play nicely and share and then they won't want to hurt us again, she said.
