Tired.

Memo to self - doing the 4 hour drive from Wales to canters or vice versa after Violet's bedtime may work very well when circumstance dictates that you *have* to do it then. When you decide to do the drive at that time of night because you think it'll be easier it will turn out, in fact, to be A Bollocks Idea.

Traffic was fine, apart from the M4 around Bristol being a bit busy at 7ish last night, and the run is a fast one - the trouble is all in getting a baby who wakes up when you park up at half 10, having slept over 3 hours in the car, to go back to sleep for the rest of the night. When we got to Mum's it took us til 1am to get her to go to bed, and last night on returning we didn't even manage to do that. After several foiled attempts I gave up the ghost (again, at about 1 in the morning) and let her spend the night with us. I was forever waking up to make sure the duvet wasn't over her head etc etc, and she woke up again at quarter to 7.

*YAWN*

Eating some Easter Egg, then off to do the first in a long queue of laundry loads, then going to attempt a nap, because I'm typing like a mentalist.

Rest of our long Easter break away was great, though. It's just a bit of a rude awakening back in the real world today!

Either it's the sleep deprivation, or the belated PMT, or I am actually a Twat Magnet today. Seriously, if another person backsteps, sidesteps or generally just ambles into me without looking where the fuck they're going I'm going to go on a rampage. I occasionally feel like getting a little siren to strap to myself, that when I press a button a loudspeaker conveys the simple message - "Eyes Front, Einstein". I would probably use it, with good cause, about 5 times during pretty much every walk out in Canterbury that I go on, although I'd have worn the button to a nub today. Other buttons would carry the messages 'No I won't push my baby off the pavement into oncoming traffic - it won't kill you to walk in single file', 'No, really, doorways/supermarket aisles/narrow pavements are the *perfect* place to stop and have a chat' and 'Seriously. Would you mind walking a little slower? The people behind you don't want to get where they're going til midnight'. All of these would have also been used today. Oh, and 'No, no, after you', in a very sarcastic tone too.

I am still typing like a spazz. Couldn't nap earlier. Tired. Taking a tea break, thanks to the distracting powers of Iggle Piggle & Upsy Daisy.
