Got up, dressed, tidied girls' room including bookshelves and toyboxes, tidied upstairs landing, changed and dressed Astrid, helped Linnea clean up and get dressed, did that again, tidied bathroom and kitchen, cleared dining room and front room floors ready for hoovering, cleared stairs, went through HUGE piles from all those places which I stacked in the front hall - found a small quantity of stuff to put away and a lot of rubbish.
Made lunch. Bathed Astrid.
Cleaned and dressed Emer, and Linnea again. Checked Linnea's rash with a glass. She has huge red welts everywhere, and occasional bruising, but no itchiness or pain, and the rash vanishes when pressed on. She's acting perfectly well and healthy, even helpful and cheerful.
Settled the big girls in front of the CATS DVD with subtitles on so they can follow the words, and fed Astrid down to sleep.
While she was asleep, washed dishes by hand, because she HATES me doing that and it's really difficult with her swinging out of my trousers. Then had tea and peanut butter and choc chip oatmeal cookies while watching the end of CATS with Emer (Linnea left because Macavity is scary).
And that's now.
