Where does the time go? Number Two has started a new job which is much more local to where we live. It took about six interviews before he was finally sent the offer letter, but it's changed our lives already. He no longer has to commute to London and stay away from home overnight, and because his working hours are 8:30am till 4:30pm, he is even getting home at a reasonable time. Although two weeks into the new job and they have already had at least the equivalent of a free day of work off him. His last job paid overtime, but this one doesn't, and he's not established enough yet to suggest a bit more planning go into the timings of some of the out of hours work they are doing. And because he doesn't drive, he is still relying on me for a lift to work which means when he could go in later he can't because his lift needs to get herself to work too. His bike is being serviced at the moment - once that's sorted he will be cycling each day. I'm looking forward to seeing the results of 15 miles of cycling every day!
Number One is stuck in the middle ground of crawling quickly and efficiently, standing up, cruising around the furniture, but not quite ready to take the first step. She can stand on her own if she has something in her hand to distract her from what she's doing. She's learnt to point and spends all day blowing raspberries and chatting constantly.
And I am very busy at work, and still trying to get our house finished off. We have a list now, so I just need to chip away at it, and maybe one day it will all be ticked off, and I can relax. I actually think there might be a little bit too much relaxing going on already, which is why the list is still so long. But who can blame me when it's 30 degrees in April!
