Reorganising childcare and watching snow fall off rooves

Changed our minds. We're not taking Mark out of his current co-op nursery. I've had a long chat to my wonderful neighbour, who is going to look after Mark on his two co-op nursery days (he only goes for 2.5 hours), and he can go and do longer days at the other nursery the remaining three days of the week.

We talked about what hours she'd look after them, what information she needed, how we'd cope with snowy days, etc. I feel really confident that the children will be very happy and well looked after.

We're lucky to have such great neighbours...

And now, having spent much of my day typing up information and searching out forms, I really must take Mark swimming.

(Later)

Did I mention it's warm? I mean, it's above freezing, and the sun keeps coming out. It's all very strange.

The funniest bit of it is that the snow is melting on everyone's roof. If you've got a big slab of snow on your roof, which most people have right now, there comes a stage where it gets enough downwards momentum to finally start moving. At that point it often all goes in one huge whommmmmmffffff.

It's always funny to drive by a house after that's happened. Usually you see a very pissed off looking bloke digging his way through the most enormous snow pile to his front door. There was a lot of that today.

And now I have to fax a consent form to someone to say 'Yes, find out all the details of my life and do what you will with them, I have nothing to hide.'
