Seven Days of busy, lovely, and at the end of my tether

The past few days have been a lesson in patience to say the least (interspersed with fun and celebration, because the sublime to the ridiculous is sort of a speciality around here). In particular, we've had a birthday, seen a lot of friends, and supported Jenna to make a police report about some children who attacked her on the park. Maybe next week will be calmer. Or perhaps not.

I would like to think of myself as the kind of person who can put up a weekly post about normal daily life at maybe even the same time each week or even using the same format, but the evidence is somewhat against me here.

It has maybe been less dramatic than my words imply, and less pretty than my pictures suggest. Imagine, then, something a little less than frantic and a little more than serene with a lot more ups and downs than I can list.

6. Talia taking pictures of the sunset with my mum
7. A again, plus trains
8. Walking to the polling station
9. Sharing chips with friends at the Arboretum

11. When Jeremy visits, everybody has to see what he's doing at all times
