Been a while…

…since the last post on this side of the blog but there are reasons. Firstly, and most importantly, I often have periods of lethargy in relation to writing, be it blogs, emails, letters or diary. A lot of this can be attributed to lack of me time due in no small part to the presence of Junior. Last week she was off school for two days due to a national strike and then a Skopelos holiday, this week she has yet to go to school due to a fever and loss of appetite. She appeared better today but I didn’t want to send her to school as she hadn’t been eating anything and was still feeling a little weak, however I have now fed her up and will be shipping her off bright and early in the morning Of course, when junior is ill, my life stops. It takes me back to being a child when all you really want when you feel rubbish is your mummy – hard on daddy I know but that’s generally how it goes. So I haven’t been out of the house since Sunday and I feel like a caterpillar preparing to break out of its chrysalis and talking of caterpillars (nicely led into I think), I took this photo the other day.

There were 25 of the little fellas and they all walked end to end for quite a distance until they came to a small puddle. Then they seemed to lose all sense of decorum and want scattering in all directions – quite fascinating to watch though.
