Belle

Squidge's new favourite thing is brushing my hair. "Right Mummy now this might hurt a bit" followed by "You look beautiful, it's so long. Like Belle!"

Belle from Beauty and the Beast, apparently. The princess obsession shows no sign of abating.

Had a great day, battling not getting sunstroke whilst working on my laptop outside Nero in Alderley. Things are going too well for my week off next week, dare I say it, I'm on top of things! Damn, why did I say that!? Just wait now, something bad will happen and I'll end up working.

Mum and Dad had Squidge and looked to have had a great day. I raced home, flung my shorts on and started blowing up the paddling pool. We spent the rest of the afternoon playing in the garden. Bliss!
