Oh what a beautiful morning!

M is working nights for the next two weeks, so we have those glorious things known as slow mornings! 2 parents (and an auntie) with 2 kids = no work to rush off for, no school kit to prepare, no mad sort through clean piles of unsorted clothes.

Instead, make some pancakes and water the garden plants. Read that third book to the children before breakfast and drink another cup of coffee. Gorge on berries and wipe sticky fingers and chins. Hang out the laundry and play Twister on the grass. Small chores get done with ease as the sun shines down upon us all.

Life is good.
