I want to be

in my pjs, on the sofa, cup of tea at my elbow, crocheting. But I am in the cold dining room while girls and friend sprawl over all the furniture and the floor with piles of socks that they have paired up and heaps of ironing that they have done, my girls, not the friend...bless them....Lap top cables everywhere and our horrid new TV (that means way too big to be considered practical) with its dodgy sound blasting a Ghibli film out over their laughing and chatting.

It is the holidays I suppose.....
