A Wedding

Here are most of us - at Emily's wedding 22 August in Hawes in Wensleydale. I'm the one in the blue tie. I'll leave the rest to your imaginations. The fifth washing machine is hidden on his mother's shoulders. You can see all the others clearly.

Cold Turkey

Something wrong here. Leaving our bed regularly in the middle of the night when 15 month old still waking gorgeous boy comes in. Can't sleep with the snuffles and restlessness. Then Grace comes in an hour later - once or twice a week. Must sort this and soon. Given that he's not ill or hungry we should not let the screaming get to us. Make him aware of our presence close by but don't lift him up, they say. This is a four nighter. How do you even contemplate it when you're nodding off at the wheel and aching in every joint already? Cold Turkey, for all of us.
