Ed and Martha have gone (on the train - cue squeals of ecstasy!!!!) to stay with their cousins for the weekend. They are terribly excited - the lovely house in the country-side, deep in the Scottish Borders, with a farm just up the road.
And we've got Hattie to ourselves for a night. I was busy today so Rog had a day with her - and took her out for tea. And later I bathed her and put her to bed, with no annoying older siblings to disturb her. Life is definitely easier with only one child although I suppose the house does feel rather empty. We've got a good evening ahead - Rog is cooking and I'm watching X-Factor with a nice glass of wine.
I read 'Room'. I was quite amazed by it, and really moved too. What a strange and unforgettable book.
I'm tired - can you tell? I've got lots of projects on the go, in different areas of my life, including an article coming out in The Guardian newspaper in a couple of weeks time. I'm looking forward to having some time off work at Christmas - just to sleep and read and generally catch up with things.
An early night I think.
Hey, It's Okay

Time to replenish and relax I hope. Will you post a link to your article?
Amazing how simple and almost too quiet things can seem when you are down to one child in the house!
Hope your Christmas break affords you the sleep and time you need to get caught up on things:)
Hope you get to have a rest over Christmas. Looking forward to seeing the article in the guardian
