It's snowing in Derbyshire.

Well, sort of anyway. In a sort of fake-snow-worthy-of-a-70s-film-set sort of way.
I finished making Joshua's pirate bean bag. Having filled it in the corridor (I figured the tiny white balls would be less likely to spread so far) I thought it would be a good idea to hoover up before Joshua himself got up from his nap. I was distracted from doing so though, and in no time I heard him shuffling down the corridor in a sleepy sort of way. In retrospect, I'm glad I hadn't hoovered the mess up, because we ended up having half an hour of riotous fun.
It turns out that they're pretty staticy (my computer doesn't like that word - I mean they stick to you!). What's more if your roll about in them, they feel really cool. In no time at all, we went from sitting in a small pile of them:
To playing ridiculous games, including the aforementioned 'it's snowing', resulting in the length of the corridor being covered! (The end of the red carpet is the end of our bit of corridor!)
Of course, the game had to come to an end eventually, but I can nevertheless recommend it most highly! You can tell how much I was enjoying it, because I don't seem to have taken Joshua's dummy off him, which is most unusual!
And if you're wondering, it's actually raining here. I'm quite pleased really, partly because I've been indoors working at the computer much of the day, and partly because it'll help the parsnips and carrots along a little!

And in other news, I'm thrilled to see that I've smashed through the double figure barrier in 'followers'. :o)
