we had a family Christmas here yesterday - turkey and the trimmings . . .
I am still looking through photos - slowed down a bit by eyesight (going to opthalmologist on Friday) - tomorrow evening we are celebrating new year's eve with Claire and Earl, but back on Wednesday evening to start catching up.

from earlier in the month.
Peter took Stan back to east London this morning. I'm just going to put this towel and car rug back in the boot of the car, I said. No, no, he said - you mustn't go into the boot. Why not? You mustn't, he said. No, you mustn't. So I opened the boot . . . and in it was a small rocking horse. What's this? I asked. I found it, he said. Found it? Where? On the pavement up the road. Are you sure it doesn't belong to anyone? No, no it was out to be taken. I think it's a bit young for Roxy, I said.
On arrival, Roxy took one look at the horse and said - oh, it's what I've always wanted. Just shows how much I know. It will keep her occupied for a couple of hours, said Abby sagely, and it can always go out the front here for someone else to take . . .
At least I can say for certain that there wasn't a body in the boot, and I am assured that the horse wasn't tied to a fence!

COMO ASSIM ? ALGUEM ME DIGA ? As meninas do futebol feminino foram eliminadas ? Cai dura.
Pelo menos no vôlei (depois de muito sofrimento) a gente ganhou algo (gente, morro vendo jogo de vôlei feminino,eu grito, eu pulo, eu fico correndo sem sair do lugar)
mais um item da idnignação : CIELO EM TERCEIRO ? Cadê o ouro ? Cadê os recordes ?
Sinceramente, se o Brasil quer ter chances de ganhar muitas medalhas em 2016 vai ter que fazer MUITO

taken on Tuesday. She is like a delicate, feminine version of Ben as a baby . . .
A great day for Roxy, but a sad day for the nursery. Snowberry Nursery is a Surestart nursery, purpose built and wonderfully equipped with great staff, but due to underfunding it is due to close next week. Elsie went there in 2010 when the family moved to the area. It is sad to see how the government's austerity and cuts have affected so many aspects of our lives.

Roxy and I played today - putting shapes into shape sorting slots, peep-bo, and the Easter bonnet (Elsie's). Never mind, the wrong camera, wrong ISO settings, here she is playing . . .
Tomorrow is another extended day in east London. I am travelling there first thing in the morning to look after Roxy while Abby goes down to the O2. Peter will come over after lunch and we shall collect Elsie from school and spend the evening there until Ben comes in mid evening after his bike race. . . catching up at the weekend . . .

Roxy put on her crown and was queen of us all . . . in fact she was quite tyrannical! But it has to be said that little Roxy is at the mercy of unseen forces like feeling tired and feeling hungry and she identifies them often incorrectly as feeling upset or feeling angry. Being three isn't always easy. After a while she said to me - you be queen. And she sat in the chair next to me and I said that everyone in my realm smiled, so Peter, Elsie and Roxy duly smiled. And I said the people in my realm are calm and talk quietly . . . and like a little bird she snuggled in, put a thumb in her mouth (okay I know birds don't do this) and prepared to go to sleep . . . at which point we had to change the game as she is not allowed to sleep so late in the afternoon . . .
For those who follow my journal ...you will know that Roxy is mad about horses. In fact, when she grows up she wants to be a horse. She is lucky enough to have an aunt, Abby’s brother’s partner, who is also mad about horses...so much so that she was the British side saddle champion. She and Charlie live in her stable yard in containers that Charlie has made into their home, since they are unable to build a permanent residence there.. The BEARS spent last weekend there....
Peter and I are in Norfolk, so I am taking a Flickr rest for the week, but will be posting a couple more Roxy pics that Abby took. Back soon ...

Roxy was easier to photograph today, because she was doing things. I photographed Elsie while drawing on my Ipad which meant that she wasn't looking at the camera and having her photos taken wasn't part of her agenda . . .

taking a photo while sitting in the same chair is a bit of a feat! Difficult to focus so close up! Shortly after this she dcided she was a chicken and sat with my wing round her - we looked through a couple of flickr albums of her as a baby . . .

It may look as if Roxy is jousting with Gramps (unbeknownst to him) but she is preparing to sew his sweater up . . .
back tomorrow . . . I have been sorting out a new camera bag as my trusty old one is now virtually zipless!

Roxy seems enthusiastic about her introduction to food and new tastes . . .

it is not often I have Roxy captive for a few photographs with my Nikon. But yesterday Roxy came over to us, instead of me looking after her at her home in east London, because the windows there are being replaced - and it was obviously safer, warmer and more friendly here today. Gramps got out his splendid Alice in Wonderland pop-up book which is a work of art, and I took a few photos . . .

Whe Elsie was 7, just before Roxy was born I created an album which was a seleciion of photos of her first seven years. This is one I have compiled for Roxy. Lockdown during covid has affected the number - but her character and exuberance all shine through!

spent the day in east London. Elsie still off school - the bug lurgy thing seems to have ended, but she has a bad cough, cold and is run down. Elsie and I were able to play, and I also had a bit of Roxy time too . . .

I love this for the empathy I feel with her - an inner world, contemplation, reflexion . . . and yet it as Michael Seidman said under the previous photo "and we look and wonder what it is she is seeing and how and what she's making of it. "

Roxy is so often in a world of her own, with Barbie or a toy farm animal and she is quite self sufficient. Roxy likes people to be around and about so she isn't actually alone, but in her play she likes to have complete control.

It is easier to take a photo of Roxy although she is either engrossed in an ipad or doing something that is simply not standing still! So on Monday I coaxed her in to the hall where she was suddenly struck by the large map of London - she was pointing out cemeteries to me which I couldn't really see as everything was much of a blur, so I took a few photos of her . . .
We have David and Linda coming to dinner this evening. Dvid and Peter were in the same hall of residence at Aberystwyth - so they are friends of long standing . . . . back soon
