Now she is Five
… nearly six actually. Now that she is five she is at school from 9am until 4pm everyday. She has had her first solo playdate in the pueblo with a boy from school. She tells me that they fight “but not hitting”. OK, great. They mostly play Barbies.

Glamp Lamp
Looks gorgeous, right? Butter wouldn’t melt? Wrong. She has just handed me the biggest bogie ever to have graced this house, wearing exactly this expression. Stay alert, people. And beware 5 year olds bearing gifts.

#oneweek: Autumn ~ Still life

November 14, 2012 by bibsey mama 7 Comments

As I find myself, in these late autumn days, somewhat manually challenged, I have been looking out for shortcuts, work-arounds and ditch-its wherever I go. That would be the bathroom, bedroom and kitchen and not much further afield, unless of course I am sitting motionless in a moving car.

Bones need time to heal and I am trying to stay a little bit still.

To that end, and as QWERTY is no longer my friend, the blog gets the same treatment. So I have been out and about on the internet looking for autumnal art. In amongst all the more obvious flaming trees and fiery redheads I found this beautiful still life by Sevillano artist Jesús Fernández Romero.

I just want to reach in and top-up that glass. Oh, and nick a grape while I am at it. Erm, with that said, you might want to go elsewhere for your serious art appreciation needs. Seriously. I may sound like an expert, but I am not. Really.

And how could I not include this surreal image by Chilean photographer Simon Pais-Thomas as an homage to Older Mum in a Muddle who is hosting the #oneweek meme celebrating autumn all this week. Pop over there and you will instantly understand why this made me think of her.
