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.
