The dreaded telly

[ailbhe]

Last night was awful. But it's over now. The downside to an awful night is that the children watch telly while I come to. But we'll get there; everyone is dressed, Linnea had a smoothie for breakfast (must buy more imported out of season fruit and veg to get some variety into her, since she seems totally uninterested in other breakfasts), I've tidied the bathroom, cleared the kitchen surfaces, washed the dishwasher filter, and put on a teeny weeny load of laundry - the children got new red dresses for Christmas and I want them clean for taking to Ireland, so I'm washing a little red load. I could wait for a full one but I'm wearing red trousers and an orange top today so I'd have to wait until the trousers were dirty.

Still, a little now and then makes a difference to the house, so I'm fairly cheerful. I'm looking forward to going grocery shopping, too, since Linnea and Emer are in better form today.

Those of you who recently popped up and commented, hitherto unheard of - who are you all? That is to say, who are you both?
