Happy days :)
Blue sky thinking
Well, a volcano erupted about 5 days ago in Iceland and plumes of smoke and ash have been drifting through the airspace of northern europe meaning that flights to and from all UK airports (and other northern european countries) have been put on hold, causing "Air Chaos".
It has been strange looking up and not seeing a single vapour trail in the sky, however this has only affected planes which fly up at 30,000 ft and as a consequence there seems to have been more low flying aircraft zooming around making a load of noise.
I went to see an Osteopath on Saturday morning in Bolton. I sat there in the waiting room feeling sceptical, reading literature on things like naturalopathy thinking what am I doing here. However, as it transpired this osteopath woman might be onto something. She thinks she might be able to fix me even! That would surely be the best thing ever. She did some painful deep tissue massaging of my knee for about 30 minutes and suggested I come back next weekend for a bit more torture. Lisa and I had deliberated for some time prior to me going about which pair of pants to wear since she'd need me to de-trouser. I opted not to wear my cool new bright orange pants and instead went for some plain black hipsters. As it happens, the deliberation was all pointless - she just asked me to roll up my trouser leg. She caused me pain in ways my previous physiotherapist could only dream of. However, it was (like Lisa's childbirths) a positive pain which I was more than happy to experience.
Gran was down for the weekend helping us clear out the garage although the whole plan was promptly ruined when both Gran and Lisa (after having opened the garage door) saw a massive spider in the corner hiding in its web. Consequently both stood there with arms folded and hands firmly tucked away under armpits, hovering near the door and looking around for more predators instead of helping tidy. Maisie changed the subject briefly by doing an unusual wee which spilled out of her nappy, ran down her tights, and accumulated in a pool on the front steps. Gran swiftly took her in for a nappy change. Lisa also felt the need to retreat inside and feed Lois. Maisie came back out with a fresh nappy on and promptly did a smelly poo so had to be taken back in again for another change. Suffice is to say, we didn't get much done.
I went out for a bike ride to test my knee out a bit since it was feeling a bit weird but possibly a bit better. 10 minutes later I returned back having circled the estate and all was good.
All the snails in the garden say "yeah"
The recent mild weather has allowed Maisie some quality garden time each day this week. She has set about finding and collecting the entire garden's snail population. They are arranged, rearranged and frequently transported (either individually or as a group) to and from various locations using Maisie's trike thing which conveniently has a little seat compartment which lifts up to reveal, a handy ''snail travel lounge''.When I got home last night, she had also been arranging a little outdoor restaurant with pieces of melon and bread laid out and snails placed on top of them.
The 'great unwashed' finally has a wash
After several weeks of 'bath fear' Maisie finally seemed to cave in last night and allow herself to be washed. We were preparing to force the issue after her not having been actively submerged for about a week when she suddenly seemed to comply again. And can you imagine our relief when I asked her if she wanted to get out and she replied that she didn't want to. Quite different to the early days when trying to get her OUT of a bath kicked started the tantrums.
