Life is a Highway - it’s the journey, not the destination

and failing! I really wanted to get back into normality today, but failed miserably to wake up when I wanted to (before James goes out) and felt utterly crap all day.

A & M both started the day reading and being fairly quiet which was nice. A found a Futurama comic and M was looking at a Dinosaur model making book and they both set together to find bits to make stuff. A also told me that she had read the Korgi: v. 1 (Korgi) (Korgi Graphic Novels) I had mentioned in a BrightKite and really liked it so wants the next one. It’s a nice little comic and no words except a little intro so excellent for her.

Oh I’ll tell you what else I got recently. The Comic Strip History of the World I’ve been on a bit of a book buying spree lately. This is so up M and A’s street, very horrible history like and has been recommended so far.

We eventually made it to the local shopping centre to do a few errands which included picking up the 1st Harry Potter on audio book from the library for M. He’s listened to the 2nd one as it’s in our library but we had to request this one. We listened to a bit of it in the car this evening as James wanted to go to Meadowhall and all really enjoyed it. M is now listening to more in bed. He’s kind of got out of the habit of listening to stuff at night, and tbh I’d much rather he listened to this than the radio which I do worry about being on at night time.

Also found a bargain in the pound shop of the Horrible History and Horrible Science annuals at £ each and since the kids were so nice and said they’d share them I decided to get them. Not enough books in the house. Erm.

Tried to phone about Brownies for A tonight but couldn’t get through so must remember to keep trying.
