Spring is coming!

I know we haven’t really had winter yet but I always get excited at the prospect of lighter nights! Probably because I spend so much time driving around and it’s much less tiring in daylight hours.

The girlchild is sad tonight because she has to bury her hamster. She knew this day was coming but it’s her first experience of death (other than a few tiny fish) and it’s making her sadder than she expected. I’m hoping an early night will help with the emotions, because I don’t think the first piano lesson in a month, after very little practise during that month, will be doing anything to help!!
