Did some rearranging of the back room over the weekend… Hmmm… I wonder if that added to the ‘unreality’ of that weekend. It really did fell like I would not have to go back to work this week… hey ho. Anyway – got some cardboard draws yesterday, in Manchester, & was surprised when I got home to have the opportunity to put them together – which I did. A further attempt to clear the clutter off those shelves into something more manageable. It’s getting there. Household clutter is something we will probably never win the battle against – but we will continue to try to make the whole thing more sane.
Jude was the only one awake as I left for work today. I carry him to my stomach/chest so that he faces out from me holding him with one hand round his chest & sitting on my other arm, so he can sit & watch the world as I walk about. There are certain things that he really seems to like. In the bathroom he is delighted to see the bottles on the shelf above the sink/below the mirror. In the back room downstairs, this morning he was most keen on the drawing board. It has some photos & pictures by the kids on it. There is also a rainbow – a few strokes of paint on a caved cut out paper, & he likes that quite a lot. He was also having a good chew on my thumb while we wandered about.
