It's a beautiful sunny day in a week that calls for rain, so naturally I'm throwing the clothes onto the line, when I turn around and say ... hmmm, that looks kinda counter-productive. Today's construction innovation involves great plumes of black smoke wafting from the half-filled pit.
On another subject altogether, last night Mama treated the kids to delectable and questionable and surprisingly expensive ice-cream sandwiches to celebrate the end of this session of swim lessons; everyone passed, hurrah. The sandwiches sent the older children into some kind of fugue state of angelic behaviour, while having the opposite effect on Captain CJ, who literally lost his mind. I love the frantic treat-stuffing look in his eyes, below.
