It just reminded me of the sun.

We did have some today but I was bashing away on the computer and couldn't get out. Only the endless brain-grinding sound of the building work going on opposite to entertain me - their generator gets a tad wearing.

Got a teensy bit annoyed by the teensy lack of capacity among the teenage tribe to actually organise themselves without promoting, cajoling and nagging.

And I won't mention the fact that I came home to discover that the wee one had given his big sister a thick lip. Happy days.

But I've been thinking about the Kiernan family and their dreadful tragedy. The boys were at nursery when they were wee - only a few weeks apart..how would you cope?
