My daughter has started watching I'm a celebrity and wants me to sit alongside her whilst she does. For someone who doesn't really do tele, this is a bit of a massive leap. Not only do I find this particular programme banal, but last night I started getting outraged - some of it looked like torture and I fail to see how it can be entertaining to watch someone struggle so much. Maybe it's because I'm not keen on crawling creatures myself and it was too hard to watch. But I was beginning to wonder how they gather together so many creatures and wondered how they felt about being caught, and then chucked in a crate to be swiped at. Why do we think it's OK to use creatures - even if they are "just" insects, to suit our own purposes?
In less grumpy news, we started putting decorations around the house and the kids have placed curtains of lameta from the tops of some of the doorways. It's about 50cm long so brushes the top of my head as I pass through. It's fun. We've not done this before - it feels like we're starting new Christmas traditions this year and that feels good. The weekend has been very hard though. I'm glad I can juggle work today from home.
