I quite like the stormy weather we're having at the moment.

It's lovely snuggling up on the sofa in front of the fire and listening to the wind and rain.
It's great to be able to meet a friend for coffee and chat for three hours, because your little one is happy to be out of the house and meeting other toddlers.
It's heartwarming, that Captain Milkbeard picked her own umbrella for the first time and keeps pointing at Peppa Pig on it mid-walk, when nothing more interesting is around.

I also have a very full clothes horse and nappies drying on every available surface. Sheets in varying degrees of dryness hanging on the banister and over the doors. Every chair is doing double duty. Oh, did I forget to mention the nappies and inserts everywhere?
My mornings are a frantic struggle to find enough dry stuff to keep me going through the day. Evenings are reserved for mom edition of Operation. One wrong move and I'm set back for a week of washing. I think my brain is protecting itself by forgetting this and focusing on all the positives.

Excuse me, I'll have to go make another coffee and look disapprovingly at the weather bullying my poor abandoned washing line.
