easing back to normal...

goodbye soon to this...



and begin the big tidy up.

but we have the Spanish custom of the "Reyes" (three kings) 6 January to come...wot, more presents?

work opened today, woke with bunged head and sore throat, so when carer called to say she was sick it was easier to stay in pyjamas and stay in...also on pretext of awaiting "Bogdan" to come and unblock the overflowing drain...tho it may be frozen. anyway, he eventually said he coming tomorrow instead.

but it cold out, we ventured out only to jump on the ice on the water-filled sandpit...

so, one child back to school tomorrow, the other two on Thursday.

New Year was spent staying over with friends - several children, we nearly missed the TV countdown



this preceeded by trip to see our friend M in a fab panto at Greenwich Theatre Mother Goose - keeping Ix in his seat and entertained throughout gave it full marks.

So, back to reality.

appointments at coeliac clinic (just a review) for L, and GOSH again for Ix :



not pretty - by all accounts we may leave with little more than steroid cream, but who knows what they might say...and should a bald 13 year old wear a wig?

(NHS online national appointments system, v. impressive, choice of hospitals and clinics, tho ultimately it came down to availability.... plus it came up with a very weird extra appointment that I dont know what is for - and it said "call to find out your time, you cannot cancel this appointment". think i will ignore...)
