today Miss almost 2 has a temperature and feels 'yuck'. This morning she's been content to stay in bed (which is so unlike her) and have her favourite stories read aloud over and over. It's only coincidence that her favourites are by Lynley Dodd. The books were finds from the local Sallies shop and came packed together.
There's something really special about a well worn story book. From the well thumbed pages to the bits of sticky tape holding a torn page together, you can sense the magic of the story. Perhaps even a sense of the previous readers and listeners?
I'm hoping that Miss almost 2 will sleep at least an hour this afternoon so that I can get a load of washing hung on the line. After days of sticky heat, today has been an overcast, windy day. Perfect washing day?
