Plate Spinning for the over-committed

Today has been okay. Toby has been relatively well-behaved, if you ignore screeching in the photography section of the Library - which, to be fair, was out of boredom rather than a deliberate attempt to upset people (although some individuals do insist on acting like it is). I just completed some rather mundane tasks, returning librbary books, buying milk etc. TOTALLY FORGOT TO PAY A CHEQUE IN. Did you hear that noise? That was my palm meeting my face.

Tomorrow I am taking him to the Sealife centre to say 'fish' a lot, after two failed attempts as events have conspired against me.

Tonight I was meant to learn how to crochet but despite a very good video tutorial I'm not getting very far, very fast and just annoying myself in the process. Really i should go and tackle the crockery mountain in the kitchen but I am just too knackered. Instead I'm going to bed with a book on wildlife and landscape photography.

Paul won't be back from a conference in London until very late so the poor man will probably be knackered too. Honestly we are like two single parents at the moment - there tends to be a few hours on a Saturday where we are both with Toby and we all go and do something together but apart from that all 3 of us are busy trying to keep the plates spinning. Or in Toby's case, keep the contents of the plate spinning. Must go and put the washing on.

I'd like to go to the zoo on Saturday. I wonder if we can. I suppose it depends what time I get back from the filming at TVC I'm going to see. I've been warned to take snacks and a jumper. Might be a long stake-out.
