I can’t *hear* you…
I had an early start to the day, out walking the dogs at 6.45 a.m. I was doing quite well in getting things done, but then the internet fell over, so I wasn’t able to get to some of the things I’d planned, like on-line banking. The internet stayed fallen over, and after four hours or so, I phoned our ISP, who said there was no sync on the line, and raised it with BT. I resigned myself to the possibility of several days without broadband, but at about 5.30 I thought I’d reboot the router, just in case. Then I walked into the living-room and noticed that a phone was plugged in… without a filter. And the internet came back. Coincidence? 
I have my suspicions as to who might be the culprit behind that one: probably the same child who stashed a single-serving strawberry cheesecake under his pillow last night. He even had a spoon 
The boys continued on with the work they’d been doing yesterday, though we didn’t have the pleasure of working outside today. Freddy and George made macaroni and cheese for lunch, with very little input from me. At 3.30 I put them all in the car and drove them to meet Scratchy from work, and he took George, Freddy and Jack to see Spiderman 3. Cheap Tuesdays, see. They returned a short time ago, having enjoyed the movie, but all most definitely ready for bed.
Toby was unimpressed by being left in the car with me when the other three got into Scratchy’s car, and wailed loudly about it. I tried to console him, telling him we’d go home and play and have a snack, but he obviously didn’t want to be consoled, for he covered his ears with his hands 
He’s been doing that for a while when there are loud noises like the vacuum cleaner - he’s not in the least bit frightened by it, he just thinks it’s clever. He did it this morning when I was telling Jack off for something too. What a funny boy
