Things I do and don't like

I do like top tips and local knowledge e.g. go to the Post Office for a passport renewal form and be told to really not wear my glasses in the new photos and that the Boots machine is doing really good photos at the moment. I don't like nursery bugs, e.g. the one currently doing the rounds of the house.

History and rhyme

Mainly a quick note to draw attention to two history sites I'm sure I should have been aware of before now: Historypin and History Carnival. Must find time to check them out. But also, since I'm here, really impressed that the resident petulant terrorist made up a rhyme today.

Ooops, what happened to May?

I guess much the same thing as happened to the follow up post to the trip to the Midlands grandparents, you know the one about the trip of the US grandparents to Ely shortly thereafter, the one I never blogged about. Well, to catch you up, the boy is growing taller, his parents are growing wider. I never did really understand that "A moment on the lips..." thing until quite recently. I think this is called mid-life. Bother.
