When life gives you oranges, eat them.

With Miss A continually waking up in the early hours it gave me a chance to keep tabs on the US Open and Murray's glorious victory over Djokovic. Nail biting stuff! It did, however, mean that today was hard going.

The kids often get projects at nursery/pre-school and today Little D's homework is to tell everyone how his family saves the planet. Hopefully our eco credentials will do him proud. I may just have to omit the necessity to use the car for nursery runs - don't want him to be marked down!

Miss A's class are talking about healthy eating and are being asked the kinds of foods they eat to keep their bodies healthy and happy. I hope she doesn't tell them that she screams for an ice lolly even though she's barely taken a forkful of fish. Or that she doesn't like carrots, potatoes, pasta, chicken, pork, peas, depending on which day of the week it is.

Oranges were today's happy food - chicken and pasta were not.
