back to work
There were a few funny tummies at Christmas, as well as a broken boiler (which chose christmas eve to pack in) and Hogmanay was also a bit sick. Donal had mumps so his 18th birthday party/hogmanay combo was cancelled and replaced with a small neighbours' party. Andrew caught it (them?) too and we had a rather strange evening with people disappearing for lie-downs and to pop into other parties before we all got onto the bathroom roof to watch the fireworks and toast the new year. We had a quick game of Buzz (playstation music quiz) after which Ohna suggested that reducing Dad's Competivitiveness might be a resolution to go alongside my main one about improving my contribution to the quality of family life.
The last couple of days have been really nice with all of us at home and no school or anything. It's ending soon, though. Apoa's back to school today. We weren't sure whether she'd be able to get up after having adjusted to late mornings and nights, so we were amazed to hear her up making breakfast an hour early at 5.30. She then went back to bed and was pretty tired by the time she caught her train. I'm back to work today but working at home before getting back on campus tomorrow. We've pencilled in a break later on to start taking down decorations and the tree. Kiloh's back on Thursday so she's PS2ing like crazy in the meantime.
