I feel I should say something.

I really don't know what.  I have no particularly grand ideas.  It's just that it's now been one month since I last wrote, and that just seems a little lazy.  What have I been up to?
Well, I've tidied my desk.
In fact, it does rather feel like that's all I've been doing over the course of the last month.  But I'm glad to report it is now visible.  Our cleaner even commented on it's visibleness yesterday.  Referred to it as a bit of a shock.  How rude!  But true, it doesn't tend to get overwhelmed by my life's detritus.
Now, I merely have a pending pile to rival Ben Nevis to contend with.  Hey ho. 
There's also Little Boy, who's growing rapidly.  Sadly, sleep still isn't something he likes to do for more than five or six hours, which makes for a grumpy daddy.  He is ridiculously gorgeous though, so tends to get off with a caution.  In fact, here he is, with Big Boy, enjoying some time together.  Well, one of them appears to be enjoying it, anyway.

There's also been the much-hyped crumble fest.  That annual event that draws crowds from around the globe (or around the corner at least).  And sends me around the bend...
This was the cooker following an incursion into our kitchen by the willing (if somewhat lacking ability) Lower Sixth. 

We made 28 crumbles on this night.  Not a record, but not bad.  Sold about 60 in total, which is down on last year, but I didn't want to push myself too hard this year - didn't seem worth it with Little Boy to look after at the same time :)  He did rather hamper progress at times.
We're just making final preparations for the dinner tomorrow too.  Complete with a very exciting surprise on the entertainments menu...  More on that another time.

Other than that we've just been pottering on with life.  The occasional walk (and afternoon tea!) at Calke Abbey.

Quite pleased with this shot (also at Calke)

More pics another time.  Trying to feed Little Boy whilst doing this is fairly awkward!
