My youngest child is having a shouting match with a jabberwock right behind me, which is making it a little difficult to get started tonight. It would, I suppose, be more frustrating to be trying to watch the 14 hours of Tintin on DVD which arrived today, so perhaps this isn’t too bad. Hmmm. No. It is. It’s bad. I think the jabberwock’s winning. Excuse me.

She’s quieter now. Michelle’s popped out to do a spot of late night shopping – antibiotics, lotions for chicken pox, that sort of thing. No sooner had the door closed than Sophie kicked off. I could have imagined it was traffic noise if the monitor hadn’t been glowing red in front of me. Oh dear, now she’s asleep down here. I’m going to have to try the gut-wrenching creep-up-the-stairs-in-the-dark-routine.

It worked! She opened her eyes on the landing but dropped off again while I did my don’t-look-at-me-I’m-just-a-statue-impression. I shall have dinner and then rest my eyes gently in a darkened room.
