I have no kids in the house. I fell asleep in front of Angels and Demons (which I never do - so much to do!) and now I can't sleep. I am in work tomorrow and Mr Gherkin is not. Why is this happening? Aaaaaarrrrrggghhhh!

counting my gifts

I am lying in Little Pickle's room with a sleeeping pickle in my left arm and a crick in my neck. I love this. That I have time to do this and that he lets me do his. `He has hand foot and mouth disease but is a darling with it and I am exploiting the opportunity to sneak a sneaky cuddle whilst he snores in croaky dreamland.
