Holidays again

Yes, I have taken a whole term off blogging. Indeed, it is very selfish of me and half of my excuse is such a first world problem. I have no laptop, and the app on my phone will not accept any photos except those taken within Blogger itself. I do have an iPad, but I can hardly carry it around all day. The other reason, of course, is that I would rather read. Sorry!

It has been a good term, with a piano exam and eisteddfod for Toby (he got an A for the exam and three second places in the eisteddfod, plus a big trophy), lots of driving for Joss (it's going to take forever to get to 120 hours in 10 minute increments) and violin and speech eisteddfod performances for Bethany (I can't remember exactly how she did in all of them, there were lots, but she did get some places, including a first).

Although it is only Spring, we are having a summery long weekend; it may hit 33 degrees this afternoon! Bethany and Toby have only just come out their rooms at 10.30. The end of the school holidays and the beginning of daylight saving is going to make for a nasty shock tomorrow morning! I am looking forward to it being dark at 5.45am. I don't like running in the daylight, and I am scared of the birds! Magpies don't swoop in the dark. That is a fact I am deciding is real, and I'm not going to look it up because I want to believe it. 

Milo is shorn and ready, even if we are not!
