Oh, meg, I am really thinking of you. A friend went two weeks overdue at the beginning of the summer, and she seemed to spend the last ten days shouting, 'Get out!' at her bump. Hoping things speed up for you, and the extra long pregnancy leads to an extra short labour. (I know this is not how things work, but it should be!)
timmy, the pics of your DSDs on FB were gorgeous. Are they enjoying secondary school so far? Well done to DS on potty training so swiftly. I've had two goes with Ff and she just doesn't get it. She doesn't even notice when she's made a puddle. Sigh.
Jfly and Merryberry, how are your DSs getting on with preschool? Ff is in the preschool room the one day a week she spends at nursery, and loves it, didn't complain about leaving the toddler room at all, and I have put he name down for a lovely little preschool in the next village for when she gets her funded place next year. (It's got a semi-celebrity mum and everything!)
Back to uni in a week. Part of me can't wait, part of me is terrified at having to snap out of 'summer mode' and spend every non-child-watching moment either studying or proofreading. But such is life.
My grandfather died suddenly a few weeks ago, which was a big shock to everyone. He was old, and didn't suffer though, which is a bonus I suppose. He came to visit with my parents about four days before he died, and I am so glad he did because he sat next to Ff at lunch, beaming as she chattered away to him, calling him Grampy, and played a (slow) game of football with her out in the pub garden - it is a nice way to remember him.
