The Last Two Months in Brief…

Posted in Aches and Pains, Blah, Christmas, Family, Lazy Eye, Life, Pregnancy on February 22, 2009 | 4 Comments »

… no sooner was I back then I was gone again.  The last two months have been very busy, very strange and very stressful and I just haven’t managed to get myself together enough to write.  Facebook may well be playing a part in my lack of blogging, I seem to be addicted
A brief timeline:
Pre-Christmas:  [...]

Mud, mud, glorious mud…

Posted in Family, Life, Out and About, Photo on September 7, 2008 | 2 Comments »

We went for a tramp through the fields today, sadly the most wholesome outdoorsy thing we have done recently after what seems like weeks of rain.  I used to go walking far more often than I do now, in landscape somewhat hillier than that of South Lincolnshire, and I had forgotten how much I love [...]

September 2008

Posted in Family, Life on September 2, 2008 | Leave a Comment »

The nights are really drawing in now.  We have had our first misty morning and there is dew on the grass when we leave the house.  It feels distinctly chilly for the first couple of hours of the day.
Tonight, Litte’un had a good scrub in the bath and washed her hair.  We trimmed her nails [...]

My Baby is 4 Years Old

Good Lord.  How on earth did that happen?  We only brought her home from the maternity ward a little while ago.  Didn’t we? 
Anyway, we had a party.  There was an entertainer and a face painter. The children took it in turns to batter seven shades out of a pinata. I made loads of [...]

More patching

Posted in Aches and Pains, Family, Lazy Eye, Life, Photo on May 5, 2008 | Leave a Comment »

Our fourth trip to the eye clinic today.  Little’un’s eyesight is still improving and we are refining the patching method so as to encourage further improvement.  Intead of doing fairly benign tasks such as eating lunch or watching the telly whilst wearing her patch, Little’un must now use her close vision more and do tasks such as colouring, [...]

Costa Calida, Murcia, Spain

Posted in Family, Life, Out and About, Photo on April 29, 2008 | 2 Comments »

We went to southern Spain for our holiday this year – I have been at pains to make sure that everyone knew we weren’t going on a McHoliday to Blackpool-in-the-Sun but once we got there we realised that whilst there aren’t a vast number of British holidaymakers on the Costa Calida there are plenty of [...]

On footbridges and ridiculous council policies

Posted in Life, School on April 15, 2008 | Leave a Comment »

Take a look at this footbridge.  It’s not a particularly pretty footbridge, granted, but it’s a footbridge of which I am most fond.  This is the footbridge that connects us to our preferred school for Little’un – the footbridge that the County Council will not take into account when calculating our route to school.  As [...]

We are now patching

Posted in Aches and Pains, Family, Lazy Eye, Life on March 25, 2008 | Leave a Comment »

We were back at the eye clinic today.  The sight in Little’un’s lazy eye has improved vastly and the optometrist is very happy with her progress – she can see far more clearly from the lazy eye than she could at our last visit.  Because she is very longsighted in that eye she still needs to [...]
