La ligne d’arrivee

M: Mummy seems to be very busy with her knitting. P: Yes, I think she has now done 12 repeats but she’s got a ball and a half of yarn left so I don’t think she’ll be finished yet. M: From what we’ve seen, it looks like there is a doping scandal amongst the cyclists. [...]

Catch up!

Friday, July 20th, 2007

My brain is not functioning very well at the moment because I forgot to mention that Chris sent an amazing Cat Mix CD with my package the other day. I think it wasn’t completely my fault because after we’d listened to a little of it in the car on the way to work, pao spirited [...]
