you can shed tears that she is gone
or you can smile because she has lived
you can close your eyes and pray that she will come back
or you can open your eyes and see all she has left
my little hero
clearly superheros are on ronnie’s mind this week, considering the turtle conversation and then the one we had this morning. on the way to school, it was very quiet in the car. something was clearly on ronnie’s mind. i could almost hear those cogs turning.
watch your back
HPMcQ : ronnie, come here there’s something on your back
ronnie : what’s is it mummy, what is it?
HPMcQ : i’m not sure, come here let me have a look
a button breakthrough
ronnie does not like buttons. i documented what i thought was a previous breakthrough here, however i quickly discovered it was not. button “gate” has continued since. as it has heated up over the last couple of weeks, ronnie has point-blank refused to take his school jumper off, insisting that he is not hot. this is indeed a lie, and he is clearly hot. but he will not take his jumper off, because underneath there is a polo shirt, and polo shirts have buttons. three of the buggers.
nunhead cemetery open day
it’s probably not the first place you would think of to go to spend the afternoon, with it being a cemetery and all that. but what a beautiful place.
each year the friends of nunhead cemetery hold an open day. this year it was yesterday. they run tours of the magnificent cemetery surround by stalls run by local groups, bug hunts, face painting, badge making, music in the open chapel, furniture making, cakes and tea, furniture making and birds of prey.
