@Matt
Chewing loudly was the dinnertime cardinal sin when I was a kid, punishable by immediate expulsion from the table. I thought it was an overreaction...until I had kids. -
@SKT ah yes, the old "colonizing Mars" debate. A tale as old as time.

The kids were gone is my guess

First stomach bug from nursery. Thanks Baby H.
Cheesed off that all she had was a couple of pukes and one bad nappy. Mrs H dodged it entirely (for now...?). I get to spend yesterday in bed with aches, a fever, sweats, and the other fun that comes with a stomach bug. Doesn't seem fair.

I was a bit lost this morning with what to do with my 4 1/2 year old son, with the wife needing to catch up on some work.
Ended up printing out one of these free forestry hunt sheets from the net - 4 hours later and I’m not sure where the time has gone! Turns out there a lots of these types of ‘check list’ children’s pdfs online for free covering various topics and themes.Absolutely freezing outside so we were both layered up to the hills; but I always think the cold weather makes coming back home so much nicer and instils that sense of gratitude in him of actually having a warm home to come back to.
The sheet (crosses and ticks both permitted apparently)
Looking for insects under a rock
Of course the opportunity to layer up some IH (295, 293, 888, M51)
Chilling by the lake (those two Canadian Geese were aptly named Mr. Wet and Mr. Angry - they are clearly used to being fed and weren’t happy that we weren’t feeding them!)
