Week 191: Laughing maniacally

April 30, 2022

Hello friends. This post has a photo of a dead goldfish at the end because Rowan wanted me to include it (OK, sicko). So scroll to the end for that, or don’t!!!!
On Thursday I sighed and said to Lachie “I want to invite some people over sometime and feed them some nice food”. Then a fairy got its wings and not 24hrs later Rowan texted me to say he was in Brighton and was I free this weekend.
Obviously the children were not super happy about having guests but C did at least do one round of laughing maniacally while pushing his toy pushchair around, which is one of his four main activities.
At some point between 11am, when E’s friend observed the goldfish in our pond alive and minding its own business, and 1pm when I brought out a cup of coffee for Rowan in the garden, something or someone seperated the goldfish body from its head and left its head on our patio.
It was quite odd to just be walking around and then see a severed fish head on the floor.
Nobody saw this happen, but my bet is on one of the local cats. The animals, not the fans of jazz, who mostly leave us alone.
I’m still off work. C managed 3.5 days of nursery this week before being returned to us with a temperature. Nursery are very paranoid about him having a seizure in their care, understandable but also inconvenient. The little guy has been able to attend fewer than half of his paid-for days this month.
