1. Early
2. The History Of Colour
3. Green Hair
I have been awake since 0415. Well, I wanted more hours in the day. Son 1 aged 4y 1m came upstairs in the dead of night. I plonked him in the middle. And he did his usual T-bone thing, working himself round till he was lying longways between The Man and me. I gave up trying to get back to sleep at 0515 and came downstairs to sort out some stuff for The Office. WAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHH. The Man got into bed with Son 2 aged 14m and tried to snug him back to sleep. I drank coffee and did some work, which has given me an early finish tonight, hooray.
A Good Day at The Office. We got a lot done. At the end of the day I walked to the car park with two colleagues. Discussing art. One has been reading a book on The History Of Colour. Never occurred to me that colour has a history. I’d assumed In The Beginning There Was Red… and here we are now. The other was talking about Turquoise, her birthstone and favourite colour. It was Lofty, but very matter-of-fact. l just liked the conversation.
Late home. Again. Missed Wonder Nanny. Son 1 and Son 2 were upstairs with The Man, Son 1 scrabbling desparately to get to me, Son 2 bursting into tears, reaching out little starfish hands, and then, when I picked him up, clinging and resting his head on my shoulder. They’d been to A Garden with Wonder Nanny, her Nanny Friend and the other two children. Wonder Nanny told The Man that Nanny Friend is in love with Son 2. In bed, Son 1 said ”What’s two and two and two and two?” I said “Eight.” He said: “Two and two makes green hair.” And went back to looking for Wally.
