Blame it on the crumble

Caffeine intake: 6 cups of tea
Earth Mother Brownie Points: 27 (homemade apple crumble, 2nd time in a week!)
Calories consumed: 58,973 (blame it on the crumble)


Wonder Woman's got nothing on me.
Spuds peeled, bean stew made and apple crumble prepared - all BEFORE 9am. Then, chained to laptop, tap away and clear a slew ot items from the the dreaded TO DO list. Just a few breaks for tea, pee and feeding No.1 once back from school.

No.1 seems impressed. In a voice more English than Stephen Fry waving the flag on St George's Day declares "Mummy, you're a proper English housewife."
(Hmmmm, think it's first time ANYONE has called me that. Not sure how to feel about it...)

Autumn has arrived in Athens - piddling down. May have to put off today's daily stomp and do housebound stuff instead.

Plenty to keep me busy at home. End in sight for the revamp of No.1's room. IKEA raided, credit card muscle flexed (and sprained), house now littered with flat-pack boxes of stuff waiting to be unpacked and assembled.

OH promises to get all manly with power tools tonight, but first requires Obedient Wide (that's me) to clear the debris and chuck out recyclable rubbish.

Hey ho, I'm sure it'll all be worth it in the end.
