Three important lessons


I learned three important lessons today. The first is that it is very difficult, if not to say life threatening, to use a space hopper whilst wearing suit trousers. As one shiny surface meets another, it is very difficult to maintain control at high speed, some distance from the ground. The second one is that offering a four year old the choice of either a sticky bun OR jelly and ice cream doesn't work: once she has had one, denying her the other while we all happily chomp away on our green jelly was too much for her to bear.The third lesson is that we need to blog more. Oisin is two today (hence the jelly, and the space hopper). Here's a collection of pictures of our very proud little boy with a range of (largely vehicular) presents. I've lost count of the number of small cars he now has, but expect more reports of near-threatening-accidents as I fail to spot them on the carpet and hurtle towards the inflatable dinosaur in the lounge.

Our little girl has also graduated from playschool, involving a proper grown up ceremony round at the Inverbrenna Hall, complete with gown and mortar board. She sang excellent renditions of twinkle twinkle little star, and something about a banana and pyjamas

In other news, here are some snaps of the splendid Jayne Trimble (and her ramshackle looking band) in action on Saturday. If I haven't yet managed to persuade you to buy it yet, go and get her EP on iTunes immediately.
