I have managed that a couple of times but turning the page is awkward 😅. It's lovely that your kids were so into reading - how many do you have?
Yours was much nicer than mine! Considering Olle was only days old at this point, she told me my table was cluttered (my boyfriend was fixing a computer on it, so it had small screwdrivers, little pots of screws etc.) and I'd need to make sure the baby didn't get hold of small parts when he was old enough. We also have a door leading from the hallway that has thick square glass panes in it; it had one pane out and on the side because (before I had the baby) one of the wooden panels at the side of that pane had come loose - we were worried about it potentially falling out, so we took the pane out to put wood glue around it, but then baby became imminent and it wasn't really a priority. Almost the first thing she said to me was 'is that supposed to be like that?' as I let her in 😅. Combined with the fact that I was in a fair amount of pain and very sleep deprived, I couldn't wait for her to leave!
Goodness, Hayley! That's terrible 😡 She's supposed to be there to see you and baby, not the house! You sound like you've taken it in your stride, but those kind of comments are enough to really upset a first time mother, even trigger post natal depression. You're particularly vulnerable just after you've had a baby and the health nurses are supposed to be offering support and encouragement. She really shouldn't be holding that kind of position and you would be fully justified to lay a complaint about her treatment. And such ridiculous comments! Can you request being visted by someone else and if they ask why, bloomin' well tell them!
It's all quite overwhelming to start with and you wonder if you'll ever be able to get everything done, new babies take up such a huge amount of time (it's something you can't really comprehend until it actually happens). But things really do get easier. I'm sure you're an absolutely amazing Mum, as long as you do the absolute essentials, just let everything else slide for now and enjoy your time with your darling Olle xx 😘 🥰 *hugs*

Wishing you all the best. Eye operations seem to have the most amazing rejuvenating effects, must be something to do with regaining vision you haven't had for ages, even years though when I asked my mother about having her cataracts removed she said it was awful! 'I haven't been able to see myself properly in the mirror for five years and now I can. I've got so old!" She was 89.
One of the benefits of not seeing so well as you get older 😅

I am having surgery on one eyelid on 8-13-25. The other eye will be scheduled later. My reading has almost stopped.
Wishing you the very best, Muggle. Hope the surgery goes really well and you can get back to reading very soon. Big hugs xx 🥰

You are reading a lor of the Golden Age mystery books, should I try one once I start reading again.
I really love the Moray Dalton ones. I'm mostly reading vintage books at the moment. Not everyone's cup of tea, but they're pretty short, so wouldn't hurt to try 😊
How are you getting on with your eyes? Anything further with the ingrown eyelashes? 😘

Last year my Granddaughter visited the graveyard of Washington Irving, author of the Legend of Sleepy Hollow. These are a couple of the photos she took. if you can enlarge the photos you will get a nicer photo. The one photo is of the Irving family Plot.
It's nice that the locals have taken it on themselves to look after the plots.
