Another late night here means the little man has yet to surface. I'm picking on leftover poppadums.

10:26 - 5-year-old appears. This has to be some sort of record, I feel.

We had people round for beers and curry last night so everyone went to bed late. I'm still the only one up. I enjoy these moments of tranquility in the house. I don't expect it to last too much longer now.

I was a similar age when my Dad left my Mum to be with another woman. Both my sister and I took it really badly, and didn't see nor speak to my Dad for a couple of years or so. But we came to realise that our Dad hadn't left us, he didn't not love us, but he and my Mum had grown apart and he was...

My lad fell asleep during the Cup Final snuggled under a blanket. He'd seen me get undressed - I'd had a run and needed to shower - so he had too! I carried him up to bed and got him settled but, given he'd fallen asleep so early last night, I was expecting him to be an early riser. As it turns...

7am 'alarm call' here this morning. I've managed to dissuade him from watching The Lego Movie, again, and we've got Robosapien on Netflix. For the 178th time.

Let him in now.

6:30. Reading practice first which is a massive struggle but he got there in the end. Wall-e is the reward.

Are you done yet?

Just after 7 here - no real complaints with that. Yesterday was my 'lie in' morning but as is so often the way, I wasn't tired enough to sleep and make the most of it. Robosapien via Netflix is our Sunday morning viewing.

No complaints with my 8:15 wake-up call today other than we're all on 'Christmas dossing time' still and tomorrow's return to the real world is going to be a shock to us all. Space Buddies is the film classic selected from Netflix this morning.

I was up before my two. No surprise about my 12-year old. She'll already stay in bed for half the day if allowed, and she's currently getting back into the timezone after being in Calgary until Christmas Eve. I expect to see her around lunchtime if I don't unleash her brother on her. My 4-year...

7:40 - which is tantamount to a massive lie in. However, due to a very late Friday night for me, and going to bed later than I should last night, it still feels like the middle of the night to me. Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs 2 has just commenced.

7:24 this morning. Not too bad but I could have done with longer in bed. Toy Story has been selected.
