Another year has begun in earnest

It could be my imagination, but I'm sure Adam positively skipped back off to work this morning. Although he claims to hate the drudgery of work -him, and the rest of mankind- he also enjoys seeing his work buddies, so they can all talk about their computer gaming over their so-called "team meetings" and "coffee". Whereas I have to brace myself for another year of full-time 'mummydom' with all it's highs and lows. Today's high: Walking back home from the bank, Keira suddenly stops and theatrically rubs her brow. "Mum" she said. "I need a coffee" Of course, for her, a trip to the coffee shop = strawberry milkshake, but sheesh, I'm glad no-one else heard!
