Schools part 5

We were afraid that the school of choice would not have a place but they do. Hurrah CS will go to School in September. She will only be 5 years old but she is really looking forward to it.

Colour Run

Argh! I forgot that CE's pale pink swimming costume and dark blue swim hat were in her white towel. I washed them and the erst of the towels at 90C. Now we have gray towels and a purplish swimming costume and one very upset daughter.

So I'll be off to the shop to buy colour run. Hope it works.

Kitchen part 2

The kitchen has arrived.
Maybe we should leave the shrinkwrap on. Should make cleaning easier.

Things I worry about

In general I don't have too many really serious things to worry about. Some things do occupy me though.

1. Why did Harry Potter never cure his own short-sightedness?
2. Pure-blood wizards must surely be inbred. Why is there never any mention of hereditary conditions in the wizarding community?
3. In the Chamber of Secrets we are led to believe that Slytherin designed the chamber in the middle ages. How then did he know about modern plumbing? If we are to believe Adam Hart-Davis taps as we know them (or described in the book) weren't around till 1800 odd.
   
4. In Heroes the TV show why is Mohinder's voice over so patronising?
5. Why do none of the participants in Property Ladder ever listen to Sarah Beeney's advice?
   
6. Why do not more people follow the teachings of Trinny and Susannah?
   

Ikea

It may not have escaped your attention that Mr Y loves Ikea. Well they have finally taken his love for them on board. A new range has been named after me. We got a thing in the post from Ikea with new products and the eldest daughter spots my name. Indeed there is a new range of textiles named after me. Almost, your spelling has to be that of a 4 year old but nevertheless.

So one down three to go Ikea :-)

Just wondering if we need some new cushions. hmmm

Rock a bye baby

Re the above nursery rhyme:

" Why is the cradle in the tree, anyway? Don't they know that's dangerous?"
