Hello one and all.
Firstly let me apologise for the slow running site. It has been reported to the host and although I’ve had a reply, it didn’t really help, so I’m back in the queue again. Harumph.

I did try turning on the WP-CACHE thingy which made page loading a bit speedier but it chopped off half the page, so I’ve turned it off again.
I can’t help but feel I’ve been a bit unlucky with my hosting in the short time I’ve been blogging.
I was thinking about this on Friday evening while I was wrestling with the behind the scenes gubbins on the server. I have no real idea what I’m doing and everything I do with the inner workings of this blog is trial-and-error-best-guess-stab-in-the-dark kinda stuff.
After getting thoroughly frustrated with the whole thing I went to recline on the couch in a heap of defeated despair.
My littlest saw me and made a beeline for me. Up she hopped and decided to stand on my face. I don’t know why she felt inclined to do that, but she did and my grumpiness vanished instantly. I felt her little two year old feet press into my eye sockets as she giggled at her triumph and despite the discomfort I marvelled at the closeness that’s possible between a child and their parent.
My youngest girl is growing up quickly now and I know I’m going to miss the days when she and the other children used to use me as their personal adventure playground.
It was a perfect moment.
