Friday morning

A spider had spun a web across the front door, bright autumn sunlight lit it up as I stooped underneath. Walking from the car park at Trent Park I spied five magpies sitting on top of the tallest tree, swaying slightly, their black and white group looking incongruous and comic against the dark green of the foliage.

Tired today. Amy in her new bunk bed uses the potty in her room, leaves the light on when she gets back to bed, wakes Gabriel up and they chat for an hour before politely knocking on our door to get me up at 6.30am. Lord, lord.
