Most mornings I say to my monkey "have i told you lately that i love you?" Only this morning did I get round to playing him the song. There's probably lots of other references that I share only partly with my kids that one day they will understand more fully - ah, that's what she was on about.
I can feel us dragging ourselves towards the half term holiday - just one more get up. I'm taking a couple of days off and my girly is inviting friends over to camp and have a 3 day pool party - let's hope it warms back up :)
I have - amongst a bit of a crappy and yet also busy day - had the thought that the idiom "chalk and cheese" could be improved upon. I'm not so sure they're all that different. Some cheese, like Wensleydale, is chalky in colour, and also quite crumbly - i know chalk is more powdery, but it just doesn't feel these two things are polar opposites.
I'm wondering if it works cos they're both Ch words, so I'll stick with that, but surely we can do better. I'm proposing something like chalk and cherries; or cheese and chestnuts. Or even better cheese and chess, they feel very different.
