I'm working hard on it offline, and it will be uploaded soon. It's so empty and ugly at the moment because I accidentally deleted the entire codebase and database a year ago. It'll be shiny soon, I promise. x Victoria

in Today...

  • Yesterday
    we finally took Owen to 'take the train to the next station to go to the museum to see T.rex', as he'd been talking about that for weeks. He had a great time in Oxford, and had been a really good boy.
  • Friday, 23rd September
    Owen finally understood bargaining and trading. We persuaded him to eat a spoonful of chicken to get a piece of mango in return. And thus he finished his dinner.
  • Thursday, 22nd September
    I was so tired I overslept and didn't get to see Owen before he left for the nursery.
  • Wednesday, 21st September
    I was still sneezing a lot. Team lunch at work was lovely as usual, I ate for two. It was nice to see Chris and his wife again, who had come to visit. Owen was very happy today.
  • Tuesday, 20th September
    I was still feeling poorly, so we stayed at home. Owen has a great imagination, so he wasn't too bored staying indoors. It's amazing the things he says. I made a cake for the first time in ages.
