The worst Monday of all Mondays is the one straight after Christmas when everyone is back to work and school.

The hunter gatherer…
…has done her weekly shop and chooses to carry all her bags to the house in one go, (as she’s too stubborn to go back to the car more than once).
Lesson learned.
Bonnie caught the scent of another dog whilst we were out on our walk today. She raced towards a large hedge and ploughed straight in to say hello and came out with her tail between her legs followed by a very, large german shepherd dog.
That’ll learn you…
Chickens and me.
I even had an egg laid in gratitude for me cleaning out their house. What appreciation!
The watering hole.
I have never known a dog that drinks as noisily as Bonnie. She makes a drainage machine sound polite.
Friday love.
For Millie, the homework is done and the weekend stretches out in front of you like an eternity. Bliss.
Ice pictures.
It’s hard to stay focused on scraping the ice off the car when the kids are shouting, “draw me a vampire!”
It could catch on as long as you can drive safely….
Package.
Millie’s off on an adventure weekend with her school tomorrow. It’s going to be cold so I’ve packed loads…
Parents’ evening.
We had our first one for Millie at her high school tonight and it went really well. She’s settled well and is working hard and I’m so very proud of her. We tried not to be embarrassing….honestly.
That snowy feeling…
…you know, that feeling you get when you finish school for the day and you find out it’s snowing.
Ginger goes to school.
I took Ginger into school today to as Reception class are studying pets and animals and they wanted to meet a chicken. Ginger was very well behaved. She was quite happy to be fed corn and have her feathers stroked.
Party leopard.
Evie wanted to go dressed as a leopard to a party this afternoon.
No dress, no pretty top, just the “big cat look.”
Why not.
Childish.
Call me childish but running past Bonnie and overtaking her, really gets on her nerves, (snigger).
January.
Nothing to see here.
Shhhh I’m sneaking down the Christmas decorations. My theory is that it will cause less disgruntlement in the ranks.
