tanglations

these days I am on a walking binge - but I keep on having these ridiculous hilarious tanglations that involve my sun hat, my sunglasses, my headphone chord and my bag strap - I sort of spring out of them all red faced and sweaty about five minutes later feeling very conspicuous.

my dog swam in Tamar mud yesterday chasing ducks that had mean streaks: they left the water in an easy flap as soon as she was within snapping distance.

speaking of ducks, I am slow roasting two of them for Christmas lunch.

i am also mourning a devoured zucchini seedling and having terrible bouts of procrastination cleaning and have recently discovered the joy of a few half hearted jumps on the trampoline followed by a longer rest period on its sun-hot surface.

and my little boy blushed when he met Father Christmas, fumbling with his Department Store sponsored Santa key tag and his cardboard antler headpiece as he tried to return FC's high five in good time. my heart broke a bit watching that.
