What a dreary day

It's cold wet and miserable.

Thankfully I have my own ray of sunshine to see me through.

Sorry I missed you yesterday, Leo was having a very clingy day and I didn't really have any time for self indulgence.  By the time I got all the chores sorted and had a shave (how simple things become a treat) he was awake again. It seemed like he had only napped for five minutes, not an hour and three quarters.

He has been his normal cheerful self this morning, and despite the leaden skies we still risked a jaunt to the park.

He didn't spend a lot of time on the swings etc, he was more interested in chasing tractors (the council were mowing).

I had to track down parkie this morning. I wondered over to the council compound and asked one of the workers if the park manager was around. Parkie wondered around the corner smiling, "I don't mind being the manager" he quipped. "You may not want to today" I commented. He looked at me quizzically.

I informed him that the spinning tyre swing in the adventure play area was covered with vomit. His face fell. "Okay, I'll sort it out, thanks for telling me" he said as he wondered off looking for a bucket. Some people are charming aren't they? As if he doesn't have enough to do, without cleaning up after people who can't keep their breakfast down.

M.d.w. called on her lunch break and Leo promptly stole the handset and wondered off chuntering to his mummy. I caught him and tried to have a conversation with m.d.w. which was difficult as Leo seemed to need to tell his mummy everything he had been up to today. M.d.w. can only get reception when she is outside the building where she works, so she was freezing, appropriately enough, outside the cryo labs.

After m.d.w. rang off to go and eat, I found Leo sitting on the bottom step of the stairs. I walked over to him and he stood up, arms raised, ready to be taken upstairs for his new favourite story 'The Gruffalo' and bed. I guess he was tired bless him.

Well lets see what tomorrow brings.

Cheerio.
