The marvelous and talented kathyh isn't just a brilliant beta-reader, she's also a fantastic icon-maker. After last weeks Dr Who I finally felt the need for a Doctor icon and she made me this one!

Isn't it brilliant? I don't think it's too spoilery - I did worry a bit, but it's so unspecific that I think I can get away with it. ::pets new icon::

Oh and it's very sharable - as long as you remember to credit Kathy! (Very important!!!)

Sorry I've been so quiet and non-update-y. School's started again and I'm busy ferrying children about and getting up early in the morning... was wondering the other day why I felt so knackered all the time, since I didn't remember being this tired last time I was pregnant. Then it dawned on me, that last time I only had *one* child to look after, and at the time she was only 2 and didn't do much except go to her playgroup - no long treks to school etc.

And speaking of children, it's Impish Girl's 4th birthday on Sunday (I can't believe it! She's my little baby!), so I'll be even busier... although I will probably post Chapter 13 of 'Maybe Someday' tomorrow. But then you can expect a longish gap since I'll have to concentrate on my summer_of_spike fic. If only there were more hours in the day...

(Heh. The spell checker doesn't know 'knackered'!)

Happy birthday to the little one! Hope she has a fun day!

No wonder you're tired. At what age do children begin school there?

I'm often amazed at what the spell checker does and does not know!

The little one had a brilliant day with lots of sunshine and presents. Pretty much perfect!

Children usually start school when they're 4-5 years old. The younger one will start nursery in the autum, then 'proper' school at Easter time (next year obviously).

The spell checker is a funny thing - but it does catch most of my mistypes!

Interesting, starting school around Easter time. Do they go to school in the summer, or is that start time something peculiar to your child due to birth date?

Glad she had a "perfect" birthday!

It's a 'new' thing and the school isn't actually all that happy about it. It used to be that all children started Reception (kindergarten - the year before Year 1) in the Autumn, but the system's now changed and there's intake three times a year, depending on Birthday: Autumn, New Year and Easter. So Impish Gilr will only have one term in Reception before she starts Year One. Thankfully I've got her into a Nursery in September, so she'll have some 'schooling' anyway. :)

Sorry, it's all very complicated.
