. tonight was Pheobe's birthday meal....an italian restaurant first, cake & then on to the theatre (where I am writing this)....we scattered glitter shapes on the table & then we all made small animals out of the star shaped ones....Pheobe & me also made badges for everyone....

. Alice Beasley says: Mabel just said
"there's JEZ! I just saw Jez...
Why is Jez there, on the computer, why is he sitting down there.....?"
"you shouldn't sit down on the pavement, or on the floor, should you ? he might get dust on him or something.
Is he having a rest mum ? Is that on Park Avenue or is it in town?"
"I don't even know what he's doing mummy, mummy what is he doing?"...
"did Pheobs take the photo like I take photos of you?"

I say thank you Mabel - made me smile a very big smile indeed :. )

well....

as readers of this blog know it started as a way to document some of the everyday joys my daughter, Pheobe, and I discovered. Its fair to say that there have been periods of regular posts and times when the pace of life meant gaps between posts were stretched out.

the thing is, i'm just back from helping Pheobe move to University



I think surreal is the word I would currently use for how, no matter how lengthy and involved preparations for and thoughts about this shift in our lives, this all feels. Daily routines still exist in ones mind of course, roads to running practice or back and forth between my home and Pheobe's mothers house seem to look different despite their familiarity, the atmosphere in each room at home seems stuck somehow - waiting for all of its essential elements.

I am immensely proud of Pheobe and I share in her excitement for the course (fine art) and can only imagine all the adventures she will have meeting new friends and settling in. I look forwa…
