I'm surviving quite well - I think!

So we're well into the summer holidays. I am surviving by a whisker! It's all down to getting organised and meeting up with friends who have kids too, so that they can all run riot together, ideally in the great outdoors, and you can have an adult linear conversation with other like minded chums, without the inevitable interruptions from those little people. The weather's been okay, which has helped a great deal, and the children haven't minded mooching around at home on the odd day. Cbeebies helps immeasurably too, when they just need to stop and chill. I have managed to bake some cookies, which my resident cook, Simeon, thoroughly enjoyed, and they are going down a treat, which reminds me, I'm off to go and have one!! ...
