LadyT - nothing too dramatic, just the usual mix of work and home with a bit too much going on. Been haring round different bits of the country for things, which is never great for getting what you need done. Also been doing stuff on the house - so loft just about done, but then we need to paint, carpet etc and when you look at it, kind of makes sense to do the whole house. DH is hard work on these projects as he likes to mull over everything from every angle and I just want to get on with it. Dcs and DS especially, unsurprising clamoring for a bit of attention.
I did catch (most) of Wolf Hall and despite steeling myself to be disappointed, I really enjoyed it. I saw the stage play and though it was probably OK on its own terms, it stripped out the subtlety and richness that make the books so special. The TV show was much better for that - I guess the luxury of a 6 partner and having mark Rylance who is always incredible to watch as an actor.
Kayz - I have a different name to the DC but haven't had trouble.
paleo - I'm with you, I don't love Paris. Something about the plannedness of it I find a bit oppressive compared to the vitality of London's anarchicness. But I wouldn't say no! Our old nanny is offering to have the DC for a sleepover and we are all beyond excited. Am trying to plot hols - we are going to do the big trip to Canada this summer to see my brother, which will be great though right now it feels like one more chore to sort out. Funnily enough, last year we all caught up in Norfolk - which was good fun.
