Yesterday was all about bouncing, bad backs and the trimming of teeth. I don’t really want to talk about the green goo that found its way into the Queen’s hair in the middle of the night, via the cat’s hindquarters.

The Vicar needed a new desk to counter the middle aged arrival of back issues. So we loaded the kids into the car for an Ikea breakfast (guaranteed to counter a bad back, although possibly not the middle aged spread). As we loaded the car with myriad packages, pleased to have avoided tealights for once, the kids took advantage of a free bungee bouncer outside the front of the store.

I could do with more, to be honest. Perhaps one a month?

And whilst we’re talking about new starts, this is something I came across when I recently discovered Adam Ford and his web cartoon site. I found this cartoon very helpful when thinking about a ‘new’ year for my prayer routine. Always good to have a reboot.
