Well, today was a better day. Started off better as I actually got some sleep last night and in my own bed too! I got up at 8am to have a precious half hour with the children before school and surprised myself by not napping at all. Parents' assembly at 2pm was lovely. They give out certificates that you take in of recent achievements so was nice to watch both of mine go up and get a swimming certificate (A) and a ballet certificate (C). An added bonus was C receiving the Head Teacher's Award this week. I sat there as she described what the person it was going to had gone and I kept thinking it would be C but you know, I would be biased and was beaming when they said her name. The Bishop earlier this week to open a school extension and C stood out for exceptional singing at the event. It did create a roar of laughter when the Head Girl reported in error, that the Pope (Bishop) had visited! Was the first time I got dressed and out of the house since Tuesday and it was well worth it.
These are the flowers my lovely colleagues bought me last week when I was first in hospital, still going strong!

Anyone a fan of Lost? I am...but it's love/hate relationship. Call me strange, but this shot reminds me of Lost. Oh, and I heart Sawyer :)
TRF: I've recently become obsessed with quotegarden.com
Meet Clark, stranger no. 38. Clark saw me shooting my reflection in the window of the Poop Deck in Hermosa Beach and said, "do you want to take a real picture, take mine..."
After I shot his image, he asked to buy Ky and I a beer, which we thankfully declined. And then he asked if we could exchange emails...with an impish grin he said, "you know, so I can have a copy..."
Clark: "Is this it, we're over before it began?"
Me: "Yes, I'm sorry, but it was lovely wasn't it?"
Clark: "It was great, you were great...you girls are F-ing beautiful..." he shouted with laughter as we walked away.

Susie, like most kids her I believe, loves tubes of all shapes and sizes. Here she is making use of the most noble of all tubes - the toilet paper tube.
I also tried a new style of lighting : bottom-lighting. I was trying to capture a picture of Susie doing her "scary" face, but she's far too cute to *actually* be scary, so I picked this one from the set instead.
