Roxy presented us with a picture on Saturday, declaring love to Grangran and Graps . . . later on we were subjected to being pupils in her class and were presented with a written sheet of what is good for us . . . froot . . . of course!

After home school at three oc'clock on Monday we had a Facetime session, and it is from this that I took the photos. We chatted and walked round the house for a couple of hours . . . and I was left feeling once again gratefully connected and also sad, because I am missing them so much.

although this was taken on Monday, I want to add a journal story from yesterday when I went to look after the children while Abby went shopping . . . it was sweltering . . . and i managed to avoid taking part in Elsie's rather energetic looking yoga class by procrstinating with my morning coffee . . . in fact considering that it was into the 30s centigrade and the hottest day of the year, we all did very well . . . until 15 minutes before Abby reappeared. I am telling you off, Roxy shouted at Elsie, who had infringed Roxy's unknown law of being Roxy. Then she turned to me and said loudly, meaningfully . . . and you, you are a mistake.
I'd like to tell you all - if you ever find you are a mistake, laughing is not the right response. Not sure what is, but if you laugh I think you become a bigger mistake than you were before.
Today we have had a so far pathetic storm which hasn't even watered the garden properly . . . but it is cooler and I am able to sit up here in my office comfortably. So by the time I post this I will have done some catching up. We have friends coming round tomorrow evening, so back on Sunday.

Roxy is a joy to sit next to at the table. She loves her food and is very sociable. It does mean, however, being alert, because she will make a grab for anything in reach and you can't rule out having food flicked at you. BUT, this evening it was even more hazardous having waitress Elsie serving gravy . . . we all watched with amazement as Abby said, yes, she would like gravy and Elsie accidentally poured it into her lap!
This used to be a sticker on my back windshield. I took this pic when the windshield had ice on it. Messed around with the colors on an app called PicSayPro
Roxy holding her tail in her bedroom this morning. She was the donkey in the nativity play at nursery. She wore a grey sweater and skirt and beige tights (I think)

Catching up is a slow process, and it seems that after the initial catch up I shall need to do another catch up to catch up . . .
we picked up Elsie from school today and spent the afternoon and evening over in east London. Roxy seemed to be having fun discovering her extremities . . . kicking her little feet. She is unfurling like a leaf in spring

already a thinker. Elsie is over the moon with her little sister.
I am perched at the kitchen counter doing this, so I'm afraid I'm not back on flickr yet, but felt I had to start off with Roxy's journal right away, so shall be posting a few pics

I made a quiche lorraine and served it with new potatoes and salad and Abby made a fruit cobbler. Well, maybe sports teams should take note, because this produced an enormous spurt of energy and I have pictures of Abby, Ben Elsie and Roxy all larking about with their gymnastic moves in the garden.

Being little isn't always fun . . . especially since no-one but Elsie is allowed on the trapeze. And that really means no-one!

Roxy has a cold. We picked up her from pre school yesterday and she confided to me that she had a cold and announced to the class at large that she was coping by wiping her nose on her sleeve! (too young to be wearing her heart there!)

we had a birthday meal for Elsie last night and she opened her presents on the eve of her birthday as the family were going on an outing to Margate today.
when I arrived Roxy took me by the hand and said - my darling come and sit here . . . which amused both me and Ben

I looked after Roxy yesterday while Abby and Elsie packed for their forthcoming holiday and went shopping.
Here is Roxy with a tear in her eye after being told 'no'. She is a strong willed little girl and naturally often has to be told 'no', but is easily appeased and distracted after her intial protest. So the distraction yesterday was the green light on the camera, which produced an 'oooh!' (pronounced like 'woo' which she makes endearingly into two syllables).
The survival of the young of our species has a lot to do with adorability.
back tonight to catch up . . .

On Monday Ben had the day off work . .. and this is why I wanted to revisit those photos, because it was surreal. Gramps, Elsie and I were icing The Cake, Abby was wrapping presents and Ben had Roxy who appeared to be flying around the scene . . . and. . . Ben was not making faces at the camera - for once!
I am picking up Elsie from school today and we are babysitting. Tomorrow is Christmas meal day with my women's group and Saturday the family are all coming over for an evening meal . . . to celebrate Peter's birthday early because of jury service, which I am no longer doing!
So this means I shall be doing a major catch up next week . . .

Roxy was seven on Monday and we had the second of her three celebrations. The first took place over half term when 5 families went camping which included 3 boys from Roxy’s class at school, Her actual birthday was the second with us and the third is on Friday after school when a few girls are coming to tea. How wise of Abby to have the boy party while camping!

this makes me think about the difference between the experience of the two sisters. Elsie has always had friends of her own age, but never someone living at home. Roxy has always lived with the whirlwind that is Elsie, who breezes in and scoops her up, and as in this instance kisses her. Roxy saves her true laughs for Elsie. She literally chuckles when Elsie is about.
we are going to the Roundhouse tomorrow to see Until the Lions - a Christmas present from Abby. Back soon . .

catching up is slow, courtesy of computer being slow.
The double glazing in east London met with mishap today when one of the young men fell off his ladder from a first floor window. A medic arrived on a bike, an ambulance, the air ambulance and the police. Ben was at home and put a pillow under the man's head and covered him with blanket, Abby sat down beside him to reassure him he was still breathing.
It appears that he has broken ribs and done something to a leg. Hopefully nothing too serious and nothing internal, but obviously painful and will take time to heal.

this is from Monday.
We had a lovely meal with Julie and Peter last night and played a great table tennis match with Claire and Earl this afternoon - women v men!
This year we seem to have a family cold and it has been going round all of us (except Max thankfully) - Ben, Abby, Elsie, Roxy, Gramps and me. Since the beginning of December at any one time at least two, if not three, of us have a cold.
Catching up under way.

It wasn't until I was looking through the fuzzy pictures from facetime yesterday that it hit me how sad I feel. I haven't seen the Bears (apart from Ben on a flypast before Christmas) since September. Yesterday the lapatop was set up in Roxy's bedroom and Roxy showed me different things, was in turn a ballerina and horse rider . . .
the closest we get to a kiss good-bye
