Day 86: Even Under the Mud...

The Imp got to play in the mud at nursery today, and I guess she was rolling in it. There is mud in her hair and spattered all over her face, but she's had a fantastic time. She's still gorgeous, even under all of that mud.

Day 60: Trying to encourage her to go home

We didn't get home from nursery until after 6pm, all because The Imp spotted a puzzle that needed doing, and was blanking both me and her teacher until she finished it.

Day 45: The Woman In Black

I absolutely adore going to the cinema, and I realised last night that the Imp had nursery this afternoon, I had no appointments, so there was plenty of time to go see a film if I dropped her off quickly. Even though last year in English I had absolutely no interest in the book and couldn't get past page 42, I've been desperate to watch The Woman in Black since I heard it announced a year ago that they were doing the film. 

On the way there, I stopped at a new sweet shop on the High Street, and found that they had imported American sweets, so I decided to get some Milk Duds, which are a cinema must-have where I come from, and a 3 Musketeers, which I've really been fancying. 

The film was amazing, but the sweets didn't even get touched. I knew it was a horror film, but even though I don't normally go to them because I'm such a jumpy person, I absolutely had to see this film. I couldn't eat, because I think my stomach spent most of the time on the ceiling. The teenage girl next to me spent over half the film curled up in a ball, hiding her face behind her knees.  The film was awesome. It wasn't that I was actually scared, but it was just the anticipation of jumping through the entire film. I walked out, physically trembling. The sky had clouded over, so it was like the atmosphere had carried on from being in the film. 

I'm thinking that the next time I'm inspired enough to be desperate to go see a horror film, I either need somebody to remind me why I don't normally go, or somebody to go with me. But I definitely give high marks to it.

Day 39: Catching Snow

Apologies for not posting yesterday, but I was past shattered, stressed, and worn out to be inspired by much of anything. I guess that takes care of the leap year issue.

It started snowing just before I left to collect the Imp from nursery, and we're expecting a couple of inches tonight. When we left the building, I loved the complete joy and excitement that she had when she saw that it was actually snowing, with the lovely big fluffy flakes. We had to wait for about 10 minutes at the bus stop, so she decided that the snow needed to be caught.
