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.

Quando, quando, quando, quando

Quando quando quando quando… yeah

Q is for Quando. When? As in when will this alphablogging end?

This is a bit of a cheat because en Español it is cuando. But I rather suspect that any of you out there still reading, willing me, wanting me, to just f*cking finish already, are not going to pick nits over something so minor. You might, however, object to what is to follow.

Oh, and you can consider the blog barrel at Bibsey Towers well and truly scraped with this post folks. It’s got to be worth a read for that alone, no? Onwards and downwards.

You may be familiar with the work of Engelbert Humperdinck… maybe not. Whatever, you will surely know this song when you hear it, even if you are not a fan of the man himself. Me neither actually, but I had to jump on the Quando bandwagon for this letter because I don’t think I have ever once got in and out of Italy without hearing the band play this song… and I have been in and out a fair few times.

And erm, I hope that you will forgive me, but I have written my own lyrics in the hope that you might sing along… *clears throat*

Quando quando quando

When will this alphablogging end?
Tell me quando quando quando
It’s gonna drive me round to the bend
Please don’t make me post again.

Did I bring this on myself?
Tell me quando quando quando
This is damaging my health,
And not even adding to my wealth.

Every blog post is nonsense
Every line is such drivel
Please show me the door
And I will get my coat.

I just can’t write another line
So tell me quando quando quando
When will the alphabet by mine?
I might be running out of wine!!!*

Every blog post is nonsense
Every line is such drivel
Please show me the exit
And I will get my jacket

When will I reach the letter Zed?
Tell me quando quando quando
Will it be before I’m dead?
Am I at least allowed to bed?

Oh my darling tell me when
Oh come on tell me when
Yeah tell me when
When?

I am not going to perform it for you… as I would have to learn it and rehearse it and choreograph a dance. I’d have to pay wardrobe and makeup overtime. And erm brush my hair. Then film and edit it, wrap it up in a blog post and publish it… and erm I guess I would need quite a lot of encouragement to do that…

You know maybe if I reached 1000 twitter followers and 100 fb likes by the letter Z… maybe then. It’s not like I haven’t sung and danced on screen before.

Anyhoodledoo, I am blogging from AtoZ for the month of April because they have promised me a parole hearing if I do. Clickerty click on the big ol’ banner below to discover other similarly alphabetically challenged bloggers.

*Don’t be alarmed. I used poetic license here. I am of course in no way running out of wine. Please do not call social services.
