I am discovering that one of the drawbacks to soccer (sorry, football, even Ethan calls it soccer) is that training and matches are often cancelled due to water logged pitches. Both were cancelled this week. After months with very little rain, this week we have had quite a lot concentrated in about 3 days. I had been very much looking forward to a morning to myself on the football pitchbut alas it was not to be. Nonetheless, Ian stuck to the plan of taking Ethan to a birthday party and leaving me to have a morning to myself. I opted to have Imogen with me as I am trying to get her into a routime that enables her to sleep longer during the day. I prayed that she would sleep for a decent length of time (she has been struggling to sleep for more than 30 mins at a time during the day, mostly because i am dragging her around after Ethan) and sure enough she slept for over 2 hours while the boys were out so that i was able to do some pilates and bouncing around on a fitball and listen to podcasts while getting on with knitting Immy's cardigan.

I listened to an interesting podcast from Radio Wales - an interview with Bishop Gene Robinson, New Hampshire's practising gay Bishop. It was interesting to hear his point of view. I don't accept his interpretation of scripture and I can't condone his lifestyle, but i totally accept what he said about the fact that the Anglican Church is getting too caught up in this single issue to the detriment of more important issues like serving the poor.

Ian has begun tiling the sleepout. He was making noises getting involed in painting the whole thing tomorrow but I had to point out that it is Mother's Day tomorrow. As Mother's Day has totally passed him by the past two year's I felt obliged to tell him this year rather than just wait to trip him up on it, and sure enough, he was totally oblivious.

Tonight he has gone off to a lad's evening at church. They are watching all 3 of the Jason Bourne movies back to back - Bourne once, Bourne twice, Bourne again. He's missed the first two and most of the last one due to tiling.

As for me, I'm drinking a glass of wine, knitting and watching a movie in front of the fire.
