It's been a busy day -

a few hours at the new nursery, which both kids loved, left Lilli all by herself, she just waves me off "bye bye Mama", she says it in such a cool manner I sometimes expect her to add "don't come back to soon I'm having a good time here"...

They made lanterns, starting early (the lantern procession is only on 11/11), because the kids are allowed to choose animal shapes for them and such complicated things such as swans, turtles and fishes were chosen - quite a challenge for the nursery people!

Went shopping afterwards, home for lunch, then off to Lilli's speech therapist who still can't quite cope with the love and affection she offers him (big hugs and kisses after only 3 meetings, he must be doing something right!), then off to T-mobile for more fighting to get our stupid British T-mobile contracts transferred to German T-mobiles, which is proving MISSION IMPOSSIBLE, then tea at my sisters and back home, Lilli as always on her scooter, riding off into the sunset.

A glass of Rioja in front of me I am now waiting for our Chinese and the continuation of our 24 extravaganza - not sure which series it is, I think the latest one, and we've got all the episodes - our evenings of the next 3 weeks are sorted!
