God, Ginger, a town-scale word asoociation session would reveal some truly scary things, I fear! Interesting idea, though... It's more boring: all the clubs have a stand and give info about their activities and you can register. There are an amazing number of clubs here. I had planned to join a gym group, but it doesn't fit in with work hours. Have resolved to swim once a week, cycle as much as possible and do sit-ups at home.
Springy, glad things are OK and you had a brief glimpse of how things are when it's just the 2 of you. Hope the swine flu stays away from George. Your analysis of life with 2 is pretty spot on.
Bicnod, good luck ignoring your mother. If it's any consolation my MIL keeps asking if A is sleeping through and then when I say not yet exclaiming, "oh! le coquin!" (the rascal!), as if he was being terribly naughty and doing it just to annoy...
major digression: that has brought a bit of rhyme into my mind, is it L. Carroll? "speak harshly to your little boy and beat him when he sneezes; he only does it to annoy, because he knows it teases"
Boff, the hat thing sounds fine, your sailor-suit fantasies are more worrying, IMVHO .
