Raucous laughter from Lauren on the swings today.

She’s not mastered crawling yet but she’s keen as mustard to get walking.
A great day out with the real Thomas the Tank engine. Sophie had a great time and I have to say I had a blast too.
I’ve got a facebook account. But I don’t get it. I just don’t. Am I thick or has someone created a whole new paradigm for human/computer interfaces that no one told me about? (OK I know it’s about human/human communication/prattle but I can’t get past the chaos of facebook). Is it specifically designed to confuse the over 35s? Is it revenge for the mosquito device teenager repellent? What?
I get notifications about stuff other people have done to other people. I get regular emails from Owen asking me to play scabulous – I had to rely on his tech support to navigate around the screen looking for the damned application because the invite didn’t contain a link to the app.
Now Owen is cajoling me into joining a group about the Ball Surname in Ireland. Fine – after three days of web 2.0 compliant insults I relent and decide to join.
Where’s the join button? Where do I point the mouse thing [picks up mouse and waves it at the screen] to make me join the group. There is no link in the invite. There is no flashing spinning button that says “join this group be-atch”
How come I feel like such a fscking idiot every time I log on there? I’ve been blogging since early 2003, I’m hip, I’m cool, why don’t I get it?
Answers via postcard please.
Being stuck in hospital isn’t much fun is it? And you never get to finish the hospital paperback you’ve started. Lauren has picked up a nasty chest cold or virus or something. Very rapid breathing and coughing constantly. She spent most of Thursday in the hospital getting checked out and we were sent home with an inhaler which we have to give her 4 times a day. Very disturbed sleep for all. Her mood is improving though – we got a few smiles this morning but the slightest thing will set her off in a flood of tears.
