UP EARLY...

.... following a pretty horrible night thanks to Lily's inability to settle when her Dad's not here. We had to go and look for him four times between midnight and 2.30, then managed about four hours sleep,before being up for the day by 6.30. Needless to say we're all shattered now. I've done all the chores, been to Morpeth, made a huge fish pie and enough chilli to feed a small country, walked the girls twice, and feel no guilt about settling down on the sofa, with the girls, for a little shuteye! (I can guarantee that the phone will ring during the next half hour.)
