Just a few things

I thought I could use this blog to remember our normal life and normal days - so if I feel yearning or homesick in Kathmandu, I can look at some pictures of 'home' and either feel a bit better (maybe), or blub (more likely), so - have a look around our house.... Here's the dining room, with Thom's first birthday cards hanging on the 'washing line', and Harv doing some kind of Kathmandu-preparation. The children were all playing in the sitting room when I took this photo, putting jam on the sofa or similar.....

And here's the view inside from my back door:

And the view outside on Saturday last week - I am a bit obsessed by this tree, aren't I? But it just looked SO stunning laden with all the snow, I feel justified in sharing.

Poor Thom's still got a poorly ear - still oozing after 4 lots of antibiotics :( Admittedly he wouldn't take two of them. And I don't blame him, poor little chap - honestly, given the hideous amounts of money sloshing around pharmaceutical companies and the huge r&d departments, you'd think something could be done somewhere about the taste of flucloxacillin. It actually tastes poisonous - not merely nasty, but as though it might actually kill you..... So - like I said I'm not surprised it made my little chap sick.

And finally, quite a bit of this going on - parcels of 'things' going off to new owners, as I start to whittle down to the things we'll actually be taking with us. I'm getting a bit addicted to ebaying... Whenever I have things for sale I keep checking how many watchers I've got, and how much the bidding's up to. I'm so sad - I do try to be disciplined about it but no - there I go checking again......bah!
