@Ladyof theLattes suggested I write a random list. I am currently sitting at my dining table which is covered in random lists, shopping lists, work to do lists, personal to do lists - none of which are particularly getting done I might add, so I figure what's one more list eh?
A Random List of Things That Have Been Happening at Very Bored Towers
1. I've started taking on some freelance writing and social media work. I've been a lot more busy than I'd anticipated, not least because I probably took on more work than I could comfortably manage; still a valuable lesson has been learned about time management and stretching myself too thin.
2. I have inadvertently managed to become part of the committee for the end of term school concert. Lesson not learned it would seem about attending random school meetings because a) I think it will make me look like a caring, respectable mother (only 6 mamas out of 18 attended!) and b) because the meeting might, just might be about the bloody P.E. kit we've been waiting for since September (it wasn't!). Said meeting progressed with the 5 other mamas singing various random Catalan songs at me for my approval (?) whilst occasionally throwing a curve ball by suggesting the kids (aged 4 & 5) sing a Shakira number! Needless to say I was as much help as a chocolate teapot but thankfully Shakira was overruled.
3. I have discovered via the medium of attempting to teach 3 & 4 years old a modicum of English that teaching is not my forte.
4. I have also discovered that once boys reach the age of 5 the average Catalan birthday party changes from 2 hours of unstructured running about to 2 hours of refereeing wrestling and boxing matches. I wonder if I am really bad in wanting some of the kids to win?
5. In days of old I would have made point 2 a 1000+ word blog post, I did try today and failed. My mojo is obviously down the back of the sofa somewhere.
6. I have been enlightened as to how much getting a leather football kicked at your left breast hurts.
7. Google Chrome is a big pile of shit and has on many occasions almost prompted me to hurl my laptop over the balcony.
8. I now know just about everything there is to know about dog whistles (courtesy of Point 1). Go on ask me anything...
9. I have achieved my personal best time in speed eating a bag of peanut M&Ms —my current vice of choice.

10. Erm, that's it for now I guess. Still at least I've written something. Usual witty *cough* service will resume soon.
