Yesterday is Long Gone - Catalogue of Days

Smiling Sunny Melbourne. Yes, the Commonwealth Games are over as well. I loved them. I’ll write about that another day.

Back to the Catalogue of Days. My little Girl isn’t little any more. Prep isn’t what it used to be. They don’t just read ‘The Three Little Pigs’ they analyse it and discuss the grammar used in the text. Now it’s all about Connie Confidence an Petey Persistence instead of Kevin-Kick-Your-Arse-If-You-Don’t-Listen and Hillary-Who-Do-You-Think-You-Are-For-Having-An-Opinion.
Says I to Mip the other night re: Big Brother on TV. “I don’t think I want you watching this show. Those girls are being nasty to each other.”
Says my daughter, five years in body alone, “Well, they’re only playing a game, Mum.”
The Boy is very pleased about Big… (oh was it big Brother???) this year. His fiancée is not so pleased about that. And he has a bit of time on his hands or at least on one of them, after his car decided to play ‘rock, paper, scissors’ with a pole and a tree. As a result the Boy's hand was wired and plastered up a bit like a Prosperity Cat.
In hospital, I looked at my lanky giant and he is still my little boy, frightened and vulnerable. So I pretend I’m not the same. I walked past his bed and made waving jokes.

Having read about a few of them, I wouldn't doubt that one bit, ChickyBabe!
I was at the circus today so after watching all these agile, athletic people doing such amazing things, I'm planning to have a few good dreams myself!!!

BB should be banned. That's my helpful contribution :-)

There's something in that Justine. I don't think it's an all bad concept but at the same time I don't think Mip will be seeing much of it this year.
