Self Service and Shakespeare

This weekend marked the start of a new era for the twins - they were expected to feed themselves.

( But Mummy, that's hard ! )

In the meantime I have been counting down the days to the week with the grannies (eight to go) and planning a few other offspring-free trips.

Apart from dreaming of future events and mopping up baby food I have mostly been planning a couple of one-off games for the approaching holiday and replaying various computer games (including MOO-2-BAA and Boddler's Gate). The writing is on hold until after I get back from the Lakes.

Seaward by Susan Cooper

Susan Cooper is famous for her children's series The Dark Is Rising (five books). My favourite of this is The Dark Is Rising (book 2) and when venta wrote her "Christmas" entry, it sounded amazingly like the Stanton one in the book (from decorating the tree to attending the church service). Having enjoyed that series I eventually decided to read some more of her work.

Now back to sorting out Empathy Path magic...
