The first of the colds...

The eldest was a bit run down this morning, tired and full of tears at lunch time, then just wanting cuddles after his lunch time nap.  Yep,. it's the first cold of the season. Best bit is that we'll all probably get it.  Roger cat has quickly figured out the best place to sleep - essentially a bed, especially if there is someone in it, so kept the boy company this afternoon.  

We did brave the weather this afternoon to go out to a local charter market in one of the local villages - given we'd left it until late in the day and it was teaming down with rain, all the stalls had gone home and we were just in time to be fleeced for the raffle, which was about to be drawn.  We didn't stay long.. 

Feeling like I've been pretty good in the kitchen today.... we had home made chicken kiev for dinner, plus I made a big batch of pesto and korma paste to have to hand for another day... clearly for different days...

The eldest is finally asleep, he's been lying in bed for a few hours struggling to get to sleep.  Hopefully  he'll be feeling a bit better in the morning. Poor little boy.
