Chapter Sixteen is up. It fought back, especially some of the description, but I desperately need the sanity saving, so I ground on.
Also, I really want to start the next project, but I won't until I have finished this, so there!
Thank you for the support.

Little bear is not a happy bear. He is still being affected by the inoculations and is hot, grumpy and has the attention span of the proverbial kitten in a feather factory. Apparently I can expect another two weeks of this as one of the boosters was for mmr, which is live and he can have a minor reaction, but the different bugs are active at around a week apart... I have spotted some spots.
I would still much rather he had this than the real deal. Measles kills. It can cripple vital organs. It can cause blindness, brain damage and weakness that lasts for life.
So there is a few breaks at the moment. I am having to cuddle him a lot. I don't mind.

Spam, spam, spam...
As far as I know I have not put the hotmail account that is my main working account anywhere on the internet. However I suspect that someone, somewhere, has needed an account and put in mine by a lucky (!) guess. Dear heaven, I have spam. It could be worse, there is currently 167 entries in my spam folder.
The reason I think that someone has actually put in an address somewhere is a few bits and bobs are making it to the main folder. Every now and then I look to see how many facebook/bank/stimulant/sex messages there are and what their titles are. I am often boggled.
Thank goodness I don't have a problem with space!

Numbers
I was woken this morning @ 7am, by little bear counting very firmly to one hundred. He is quite good - he needs a bit of help to get past fifty, but he goes for it and enjoys it.
I am going to try and find some good number games for him, thanks to MSE I have some good tips. I don't want to be a pushy mum, but sometimes I don't think that I push him enough.
And (with a bit of help) he can say his alphabet backwards as well.

Chapter Fifteen is up
Chapter Fifteen is up - I had a bit of a struggle with it. I will be starting the next one asap however, as seeing David James has given a whole new slant to a character I have been thinking about but this is one project I MUST finished before I start the next...

Little bear visited Wales
We went to visit my uncle in Wales on Sunday. It was glorious. Present were my darling uncle (with a birthday soon, so all his goodies), OH and darling father (lots of father's day goodies), two darling brothers, a friend of one of the darling brothers, little bear, a young teenage girl who is a friend of darling uncle and myself.
It was marvellous. It was fantastic weather, we had a barbecue, it was peaceful in the garden, little bear was mightily indulged but did quite well on the behaviour stakes, I am working on 'please' and 'thank you' a lot.
There was also a dog belonging to a friend of one of my brothers, which I shall call, for the purposes of the blog, mooching hound. It is the size of a smallish labrador and allegedly crossed with an elkhound (most of us were betting fox hound) and he was lovely. He roamed around for tidbits, got into trouble for stealing when he ran off with a piece of rib and refused to be caught, allowed little bear to stroke him, played football and endlessly sat patiently and mournfully in front of anyone who was eating.
Ian who sometimes posts comments made the (really delicious) birthday cake and it was a wonderful time.
I did have a few heart in mouth moments. Darling father may be approaching 80 at speed but he can still do a creditable slide to the ground (last competitive football match at age 50). And little bear took the fence with the neighbouring property as a challenge and just tried to climb a fence which is uprights with an upper and a lower cross bit and is taller than him - he didn't flinch. When we tried to stop him he said, 'I good at this.'
Today his exhaustion is showing, but he had a marvellous time. Actually I think it could possibly apply to all attendees. I can't wait for the next time.

Little bear and Newton
Little bear was playing in his bedroom (supposed to be going to sleep...) and became distraught.
'Car go backwards, car go backwards.'
Poor little bear, the toy garage is on a very slight incline, and the surface doesn't have much friction. So when a light thing with wheels is placed in the right way, it rolls and as little bear was placing it exactly right, the car did indeed roll backwards and little bear was not happy with Gravity. Nor was he particularly impressed by the standard of explanations provided. It wasn't right and it wasn't fair and I think he eventually sulked off to bed.
