Poseur(se)

Normally it's Joey who is happy to pose for late night emergency blips, but tonight it was Piper. Given her colour, she's the better choice for low light situations*.

Slow sneezy start after a disturbed night where I missed the end of the Archers about a dozen times. Then work, then running about, dinner making, a shabby bit of parenting when I dealt with some extreme laziness and thoughtlessness in a not very constructive way**, a meeting where I accepted another not-paid job, and finally, blissfully, bed. And the Archers to fall asleep to.

Tomorrow I will be the shining example of motherhood that my mother in law, incomprehensibly, believes me to be. Tonight I will remember that I'm sick and I was right.

In weather terms, gloriously sunny, but icy cold. I was cold all day, even with the fires on (spent my few idle moments researching secondary glazing and internal insulation). Tomorrow I must get outside. And pay all the bills I didn't get to today. And really actually try to fix the shower instead of just looking at it sternly.

* I hear the sound of a bunch of London teenagers shouting 'racist'.

** I'm sick, and I was right. Really, truly.
