    I hate changing the duvet cover. Absolutely hate it. It always takes me way longer than it should and results in me yelling insults at noone in particular.

    Washed mine and left it on the bed the last few days thinking I'd get around to it at some stage. Came home from work and the cleaners had been in and did it for me, neatly making the bed and fluffed up my pillows too. Totally TH'd. Might give them a tip this week.

    Sorry, it was a bit garbled.
    There is a website called Abebooks - https://www.abebooks.co.uk - which has thousands of secondhand book shops in it.
    You can create 'wants' using various criteria- author, title, ISBN etc, and if the book is available in a shop somewhere, you get an email

    I've got quite a number of out of print books from it, they tend to be quite cheap as well, postage can be pricy, but I've a Belfast address as well which is useful.

    Always lovely to get an email (even years later) for a book that you have been searching for!

    Was in a big shop today with a shop assistant guiding me to particular department. There must have been at least 5 doorways (not doors) and each time he stepped aside to let me go first. Simple but lovely chivalry

    The 1.5 year old is at the far end of the kitchen table and his little head keeps bobbing up and down as he pulls himself up on the "big" chair and then climbs down and up again with huge effort but a big smile. When he finally settles I look under the table and his little legs are swinging far above the floor. He's now covering his face and I'm "searching" for him and he there giggling with his hands over his face as I keep guessing out loud where he is.

    This morning his 3-year-old sister was crying in the hall and he waddled over to her from the kitchen, got down on his little hunkers in front of her, looked her in the face, said her name (in its cute baby form!) and put his little right hand gently on her left cheek and walked off again. Last night he decided everybody in the house deserved a big hug so he went from each one giving the best little hugs in Ireland. Glory days!

    I'm going to get the train an hour earlier than normal!

    Still be 6pm when I get home but TH that I'll have more time to have tea, play with dog and have catnap before midnight when I will once again combine my twin loves of tennis and filthy thoughts about drop dead sexy Swiss athletes.

    I went to the dentist and he was gushing about my Irish accent and so were the dental nurses and they all wanted to know about where I was from in Ireland and then he told me I had phenomenal teeth so I feel like a celebrity today :D
