OK, who pinched my mouse

and swapped it with your cheapy one that you broke playing games? The same person who can't be bothered to go downstairs to fetch a new loo roll, but pinches one from our bathroom instead! You know who you are! )Grumble, grumble, self pity, mutter, mutter.....

Anyway, still not heard back from my brother yet. However, received an e-mail today with a picture of new-born J. Who would have thought it?! We're Auntie and Uncle. I keep getting muddled, as with a 15 and 18 year age gap between his cousins, my eldest could, theoretically speaking, be his mother. (Although we all hope we'll have a few years yet before we become caring, sharing Grandparents). Funny thing - life. As little J snoozes away (we hope) both Mifflets are out on the town; little M at a rugby club 'do,' his sister at one of our more salubrious local nightclubs. And here I sit, blogging away, whilst Mr M is pottering around fitting a new extractor fan in the downstairs cloakroom. I'm suddenly feeling very old indeed!

I was home today. Must have been the Spring sunshine that caused an uncharacteristic outburst of energy. To wit - cleaned kitchen, vacuumed up and down, shampooed downstairs carpet, walked dog, washed his blankets, soaked dining room curtains in bath before hanging them out to dry. Oh, and I mustn't forget the ironing. Flylady would be proud of me, I'm sure. Not to mention, working my way through course section on the doctrine of the just war. In this particular part, you get to choose 2 assignments out of four, and as I'm only about halfway through the material, I feel I should really go through to the end of the section before choosing which to tackle. The problem being, this may take me some time, and from past experience, it helps to get the first assignment of any new unit out of the way fairly quickly. The choice of topics covers, The Ethics of Employment or Whistle Blowing, Romans 13, or the 'Just War,', Use and Abuse of Power or 'Middle Axioms,' or The Church Report on Poverty, Science and Religion or the Environment, or a review of course booklet on OT perspective on the people of God and the State. Yeek! For someone who loves wading around in a morass of information, yet who finds it incredibly difficult to actually settle down to any one topic, this could prove 'interesting.' Maybe I should employ Flylady tactics here, as well!
