Playing Catch Up



It's a bit of a fraught time here at the Roses house. Big Sister is in the middle of her exams, toughest week so far, my father is
poorly and I have been feeling the stress with a capital "S".



Lots of things I'd like to write about but I don't seem to have the energy, so please enjoy the poppies - they've been a long time coming this year and I'm hoping they'll last the week with all this rain about.



Even when things aren't that good they still bring a smile to my face. Just like my daughter, who in the midst of her history revision is making me giggle with her 100 ways to wear a headscarf routine. I'll be back soon I hope. x



PS, there's a new blog post over at Milly and Dottie's , no poppies I'm afraid, but a lot more words! Have a good week.

Oh, poor thing - hope she's bearing up OK. At least it was a bit cooler - nothing worse than doing exams when it's scorching outside.

Hope your dad is on the mend. History- Hmmm! As the mum of a Post grad history student with a fantastic degree and a doctorate who works in a bar... I feel for you.
Lovely poppies though- I do love poppies.
Maybe you could do the 100 ways with aheadscarf as a post??

:-( sending virtual hugs to you, must be really stressful watching your children revise for stressful exams and then having your Dad ill at the moment too. Take care. x

Beautiful poppies. I hope there is less stress in your home now - hoping your dad is recovering and eldest daughter is seeing an end to the exams (they seem to go on forever nowadys, don't they!)
