Had an unexpected morning with my littlest this morning as his childminder's son was ill and therefore all the minded kids had to stay home.

For an hour or so he sat beside me at the table and 'worked' while I worked. He kept himself busy sticking things in a hand me down octonaut magazine and joining the dots in the puzzles. After a while though the confines of a desk job became to much for him and we gave up and got the happy land toys out instead.

Once safely deposited at nursery I got to work and thanks to my lovely husband doing the pick up duties, managed to stay late enough to get what needed to be done, done, as well has a decent start on trying out our new and incredibly complicated GIS.
