It is bitter, bitter

[ailbhe]

And I'm sick to the back teeth of it
Because it is bitter
And because it is my heart.

(Stephen Crane, I think, ish).

Anyway, my back teeth are all oozy and yuk, though that COULD be the - oh this is good - mint and aniseed mouthwash. The children have spent the day turning random scraps of paper into much smaller random scraps of paper.

I'm going to have a coffee and read a book about paper.

I've found that a teabag on the extracted area helps a lot. It absorbs any bleeding or icky stuff and the tannic acid in the tea helps to cure the gums faster. Good luck!

Holly decided to cut up my post it notes a few days back & scatter tiny bits all over the house. Annoying re the mess & the waste of my post it notes. I assume she had fun though!

Aisling was crumpling paper into balls last night. When Alex tried to intervene she said she couldn't stop because they were the Tombliboo's drums and she'd only made two. Tombliboo Eee needed one too!

I always think of Ballboy when I hear that quote.
