Okaaaayyy
Scary stuff here …
Today we’ve done work stuff, Claudia made Halloween decorations, Jasper scavenged for food, they’ve been swimming. I finally finished my Chevron Scarf & am stuff trying to reorganise what little space we have downstairs (mostly to fit in all Jasper’s new stuff 
).
There have been lots of birthdays (Buttercup, Ernest, Jasper, Emily, FIL, & Claudia coming up), so we’ve had gatherings in various places.
We’ve carved an awful lot of pumpkins.
We have a garden full (two very large ash trees) of wood to be chopped for the fire.
We’ve been to Legoland, the theatre (Danny Champion of the World) and the cinema. All the usual activities are still ongoing, Lily & Claudia are going riding tomorrow.
Number 1 cat is injured, I’m just watching & waiting since Number 2 has already been at the vet’s this week & I’m sure they (cats &/or vets) have a plot to bankrupt us.
Jasper mostly walks now, he loves to dance & eat balloons. Claudia is more Claudia than ever, I swing between being fiercely proud & wondering how the fuck I am going to survive another day (let alone week, month, year) of HE.
Jasper’s birthday was lovely, we’ve had such a wonderful year he is joy in a body.
Claudia’s birthday is stressing me out big time.
lovely post (well apart from the stressy bits) and photos
Have a glass of wine or 6 for the not so lovely bits.

Why the stress of C’s birthday? Anything I can do to help? P&M would love to help plan stuff, and are very delegatable

Just failing to reach C’s increadibly high expectations … last year was ‘the worst birthday ever’ & she won’t let me forget it.
I’m delegating games to Simon.
