Foam Hacking Scandal

So lately Rory has taken to banging soft toys against his face.  Really hard.  

Methinks he is trying to alleviate some gum discomfort at the moment, but I also think he likes to show off those two chubby, grabby things he's discovered at the end of each arm that can search out, terrorise and destroy anything with a foam face.  

Each morning I approach his cot with some trepidation.  

The scene of carnage usually consists of my son going "urghff, urghff, urghff" as Paddington Bear lies face down, Moe the giraffe looks on as a helpless bent-knecked witness and Cousin Jai's knitted tiny teddy tries to make a headfirst escape through the bars.       

I call an urgent meeting to discuss Rory's conduct.  Things go well, although he only promises to get his ducks in a row if he can eat them later.      

Creative or Domestic?

I decided to revisit an earlier floral scribble with some heavier paints and must say I do like the result.  I am loving autumnal red-brown right now, on anything.  I mean, apparently it's still summer here but let's not kid ourselves.


Okay, it still looks a bit crap but it's the colours I like. It looks much better in real life if I'm honest.

Also I recently found an old art deco pendant languishing at the bottom of one of my many, many, many keepsake boxes.  I decided to plonk it on a silver chain, and to quote my nephew, I "felt happy in my body" for doing it:  





Afternoon Delight:

I have absolutely no shame in saying I cannot wait for Jersey Shore Season 4.  

Seeing Paulie D and Vinnie in their 'Italia' gear makes me cackle with unbridled excitement.  Yes I am 38 years of age and should know better.




Did I watch Geordie Shore as well?  You bet your Nelly.
