He-Man.

This new hen was meant to be a female, but it decided to start crowing, (instead of laying eggs) while we were on holiday.
The kids have named him He-Man.
He is huge and very, very hen-pecked by his ladies.

…for Millie with her school friends. Armed with the knowledge to tie her shoelaces, play Minecraft and live off jaffa cakes, she’s not sure she needs anything else, she’s got all the skills right there.

Superman caught napping.

According to eyewitnesses this afternoon at approximately 1700 hours, the legendary superhero was observed crawling up onto the sofa, blowing his nose and falling asleep for approximately one hour.
Luckily for him no major crimes were committed by his arch enemies…

The day before tomorrow.

Getting the lunches ready for our return to school tomorrow. Uniforms are hanging ominously ironed and neat upstairs.
I’m already wearing mine…jeans, t-shirt, trainers and a wearied smile.

Shoe shopping.

For school shoes. Bring on the scowls.

Glad to see Arnie, our cat, not so glad to bring back sackfuls of washing.
