I grab a quiet moment, to read a magazine.
Tinkerbell Mushroom sees me.
"That magazine's for older women isn't it Mummy?"
I look at the cover, to see what might give her that impression.
Trinny and Susannah stare back at me.
They would be delighted I chuckle to myself, to know that TM thinks that they are older women.
Meanwhile, she overhears a conversation about a comment made to me by someone a few year's back. Not thinking it the right thing to say, clearly, she pipes up: "That was a bit "ibnoxious" wasn't it Mummy?"
Right now though I have to leave you all, as have been asked by TM and Gymnast to play a game of Giant Janky before bedtime.
Actually, perhaps they should re market it as "Giant Janky"? It's got a certain ring about it compared to Jenga, don't you think?
P.S. Yesterday evening I got home from work, having had a "show" for the parents at my theatre school, so was feeling very tired...............
Was greeted however by a parcel containing an Enya CD (Amarantine) and a book! (The Lollipop Shoes by Joanne Harris). Both sent by a kind friend who reads my blog, as a birthday present. Kind blogging friend wishes to remain anonymous in name. However....
Thank you kind blogging friend. You made my day!

Ibnoxious, lol...I love it!
How lovely to recieve a parcel, sounds like a great day.
Kids, they don't miss a trick!
Love Enya, so good to listen to when you're relaxing.
enidd thinks anything that sounds as much fun as giant janky should be reserved for older women only. well, not-so-young women, anyway. don't want those teenagers having all the fun.
Enya makes me sleep. I love her music but never hear the 3rd track!
Beccy - Yes it was a great surprise, and very nice!
Akelamalu and John - Funnily enough, when ED was a baby , she used to go to sleep to Enya. it worked so well that we used its soporific effects to help her settle down each evening!
Enidd - I agree!
Not so unlucky ;) 10th.
There was a Jenga factory (?) in our little town for awhile --- and then I think they moved it to China
