ANM is out with his friends tonight. He doesn't go out at night very often, and even then it's usually when there is some crisis at his work that needs sorting. I think last time I blogged about him being out at night I got all productive and made muffins, but I really can't be stuffed tonight. I did get some nice yogurt on special today, so might go and scoff some of that instead.

Preschool boy
I've just realised that I never blogged about Little C starting preschool. Well, I suppose there's not really much to say except he started preschool and is loving it, so instead of blahing on I'll spam you with some photos of the boy on his first day.

The unhaunting
We've lived in our house for five and a half years but it has never felt like ours. I've felt more at home in rental places that I've lived in for twelve months than in this house. One room in particular in our house has always felt... creepy. ANM and I have both had very strange dreams and odd feelings in that room and Little C has spoken of a man in his room (yes, it's his bedroom) in the middle of the night. Locked doors in our house have regularly opened and closed at random. It's a little freaky when you're minding your own business and the dead bolted front door suddenly swings open, or the back door bangs closed on a windless day.

Filling in the blank months
Holey moley (or moly?) I've missed blogging but y'know life takes over sometimes... Waah, two whole months of not blogging leave me with so much to say, but no idea where to start. Here's a brief synopsis of the most exciting bits.

The gate, the kitchen and the dare
Here ya go Sif! Isn't it beautiful?
- A mostly chewed (by Little V) grape on a crummy plate, as in a plate with crumbs on it, probably from someone's breakfast, sitting next to a plastic bag containing the stalk of the grapes and a few grape dregs
- An opened packet of biscuits and 2 dirty tea mugs from when my Dad came over a couple of hours ago
- The deep fryer. I have no idea why it's sitting there
- A used glass and plate (probably from my lunch) and a bottle of dishwashing liquid
- A very grubby gas cooker with some very grubby dishes on it
- Knives, jug and cleaning spray (no, I don't Enjo)
- The sink with more dirty dishes, wine glasses etc...
- Very brown cupboards
- Some vases, a dirty tissue and a coffee machine we've borrowed from my inlaws
- A plastic bag full of something on the floor
- The dishwasher (full of clean dishes because I haven't emptied it yet), microwave and dirty teatowel
- The fridge, which is looking quite uncluttered except for a funky magnet my friend gave me a couple of weeks ago that says "she was the life of the tupperware party", some family photos and magnets to stick them up, a few other magnets (gotta have a Darth Vader magnet on yr fridge!), the kitchen timer and a laminated Little C with removable/posable arms and legs from the "pin the limbs on the C" game we played at his birthday party.

The excitement of fensage and gateness
So here I am drinking my second glass of wine for the evening. Top qual cask wine too I might add. Yeah, I know, breastfeeding, but... meh.

Jazzing up twenny bucks
Mr T has been to a few birthday parties lately and it seems the done thing within nerdy 13 year old boy circles is to give money on such occasions. This is absolutely fine by me. I'm happy to avoid the stress of trying to find a perfect yet affordable gift for a kid I barely know.
