ten on tuesday15th May 2012

1) this post is brought to you by the letter C for cough cough cough and the letter{s} OMG for OH MY GOSH ;) 

2) I cant quite shake this cough. its a sometimes cough, an all times sore throat. nice. I must have had it two weeks nearly! Mollie mayhem has it now, but hers arrived fast, with a temperature, headache and big soulful saggy eyes :( :( 
Its one of those lovely things that are doing the rounds at school. Honestly schools - hotbed of germs and hideous viruses.  blurgh...

3) OMG - I cleared out teens bedroom today. GUTTED it. cleaned it, threw it all out, moved it round, fixed furniture, drilled holes, gathered back my belongings {!} put the washing up down stairs and sorted out the clothes strewn across carpet in to six piles of laundry...double blurgh. 
I should note, you may not have teens, you may have teens but do everything for them. I DO have teens and I DONT do everything for them, anymore. lesson learnt shall we say. If you've never had a messy teen, you'll never understand. I can mail you mine, to get a fast track sort of learning curve, if you like ;) LOL

4) my iPhone calendar is on meltdown. I seem to be super busy for the next few weeks. Something about May has got seriously out of hand. EVERYTHING is happening in the next few weeks. We have trips, visits, birthdays, guests, photo shoots, nights out, meals out, more photo shoots, appointments, travel, aghhhhh...
I know -its called having a life and its a blessing. But seriously... slow down world! 
I was freaking out, but now I'm in denial and only reading the next day's calendar and not any further ahead.... hahaha

5) Mollie was home from school today. Shes a funny one... overly worried about 9000 random things and somewhat prone to over thinking. The poor girl, I look at her father and I, and think oh my goooooodness. She may have got both our well known worrying and over-thinking genes. oops.

6) Food is still an issue for her. which makes it an issue for me. which makes life pretty crap complicated sometimes. I used to like cooking...

7) Lets talk mac for a moment -  I've had the grey veil of death. three times in the last four days. all kinds of performance checks run. Have a sneaky feeling it was either new-ish software I downloaded, or an old connected XHD, dying. Not impressed and have that vague sick feeling you get when technology falters...fingers crossed its all fine currently. ack.

8) Apparently - we are heading into a cold snap for a month before a great summer. Hmm... I believe the cold snap bit - hello its freezing and raining as I type, but its the second part I'm struggling with.  I'm also wondering if there was any point planting veggies this year??? I've lost half and most of the second half are so far behind the growing season I cant quite see veggies before November. assuming I somehow bring them all inside in october. Yeah, messed up veggie season....

9) Who ate all the larder? I swear I only just filled it and the fridge up...

10) I'll leave you with a little iPhone pic of the evening light across the trees in the garden. This was my view as I was ironing upstairs...not a bad view at all :)

Ohhh fingers crossed for your Mac, I had the grey veil before my logic board finally kicked the bucket (twice). That was awful! There's something about May-June that seems to load up the calendar every year. Crazy! And I'm quite jealous of your evening view. :)
