the blip nadir.

i did take the same shot with the pile of name tapes on top but then got all concerned about anonymity so it's just the pile of brand new shirts bought during a ram raid on m&s which looked as though it had been hit by a hurricane of pre-term parents.

my english brain can't get over the fact that it's nearly time for school to start and we don't seem to have had summer yet

the lady in the shop said that when they take the uniform displays down, they'll replace them with xmas stuff

swam and skated today (admiring the bravery and grim determination of j who skated despite the fact that she'd fractured her finger skating on weds and has got two impressive welts on her legs from not quite standing up straight). sewed name tapes and tried to start tidying up the multiple jobs that i've started all over the house
