T-Bird Anni Rides Again

the ear defenders arrived.  now, when I say they are PINK, please don’t think for a moment that I am exagerating.  They are PINK!!!!  And she loves them, and they fit her perfectly, much better than the cheap from Halfrauds that she’s used in the past with mixed success, and they are really very effective and and and… oh, must get out more if a pair of ear defenders can get me this excited!!!!  Trouble is now I want a pair too!!!!  No, I don’t need them (although it could make studying in noisy play barns a possibility) but hey!

Other news today, Aprilia has decided that she doesn’t want the coloured glasses, she would rather stick with overlays.  This was after I accidentally let slip how much they will cost (really must look over my shoulder before imparting such knowledge to other half)  Considering we regularly lose her normal specs (thank goodness for spare pairs!) she is just too worried about losing really expensive ones or worse, leaving them on the floor for Daddy to stand on (and yes, that has happened… more than once!) So, much as I know taht the specs are better for me than overlays ever were, it’s her decision, she likes to have the line to read along and she likes the comfort of knowing that really, they aren’t too expensive so when they get mangled she can just get the next one out of the packet without fretting about cost.  I feel a shade guilty that she even has to consider that as an issue but will admit to a small amount of relief as it means the OU money can go on other things (books for my course maybe??)

 Plans for the rest of the day include her making "pizza" for tea (we don’t have tomato puree on it so it’s not really pizza is it) followed by fruit salad so she will finish the last bit of her Cook advanced (and so we have a really scrummy yummy tea, it really is one of my favourites)  Then there will hopefully be a bit of learning stuff and a bit of craftying stuff and a bit more tidying up in her room as somehow her room is the only one now where anyone is getting any little bites.  I did wonder about just shutting the cat in there for a week but maybe a thorough clean and mist with tea tree would be a better option!  And I need an early night as Whiskers woke me up with demands for stroking at silly o’clock and I didn’t get back to sleep (and she didn’t get stroked either!!!!)
