Morning shadows

I nipped out this morning to take this after breakfast as the paddock outside looked so delightful in the morning sun. 
I'd planned to go out for a morning run, there's no excuse as to why I didn't, aside from it looked cold and dark, and Dirk hadn't slept well, so I didn't want the boy disturbing him.  So I spent the morning with guilt, until I jumped on the rower at lunch time - interspersed with appeasing the smallest who was supposed to be sleeping. 

We went to music group this morning, it's not my favourite, there are very clear rules that you have to abide by, such as only banging a drum at certain times and in a certain way. I'm sure someone, somewhere has researched that it's very good for them to learn this way, but it always feels a bit too much as if it's all about learning and less about fun.  

The smallest is on the move - not quite crawling, but he can somehow cover a small amount of ground, although he often needs rescuing when he gets tired / bored / stuck.  

I failed in my picture yesterday -  the day and evening turned into 'one of those day's', where the day disappeared, as did the evening and I realised in bed that picture of the day hadn't happened... Time to go and make soup for tomorrow's lunch.
