The eastern coast of Sardinia is studded with isolated beaches, many reached only by boat. The forecast was for sun, so the day was set fair. Sun duely arrived, but so did a howling gale that confined all boats to harbour.
For **** sake.
To cheer up everyone sitting in the front section of the van, as we set off for yet more caves, we had a family sing song. To the tune of 'She'll be coming round the mountain when she comes', we reduced our sensitive firstborn to tears.
We'll be cutting Maddie's hair off when we come.
We'll be shredding Maddie's dresses when we come.
We'll be chopping Perky's* head off when we come.
*her favourite toy.
Note to social services - none of the above is true. And even if it were, Maddie stopped crying to laugh at all the other verses about Chloe and additional van occupants.
Maddie's poetic soul manifested itself this morning in the unlikely surrounds of the port carpark. Caught short once again, she peered between her legs as she squatted and captured the moment beautifully.
"My wee wee is like sunshine falling to the ground."

What a prolific blogger you have turned out to be. Each post is like a ray of sunshine through through the clouds of corporate drudgery.
ReplyDeleteOnly prolific when there is Campsite Internet access! I'm writing on my iPod and uploading when I can. In Sicily now...finally got some decent weather so my posts will tail off as there is less to complain about. Though chloe defaecated on the beach yesterday so I'll have something to say about that.
ReplyDeleteLOVE the song. Shall be adapted for use here accordingly. Sounds like you are all having a great time. And bless the sunshine wee. What did Chloe say about her beach poo? Em, Adam and Luke. x
ReplyDeleteLoving it Darren!
ReplyDeleteIt all sounds idyllic....OK, some of it anyway! Hope the sun continues to shine, and the trails prove challenging yet not terrifying....when does Laura get to go to the spa/pub or generally skive the childcare duties?! Love to you all, Helen, Dan and the urchins xxx
ReplyDeleteBeach poo update soon. And campsite poo update. Is this blog obsessed with poo? As for Laura's 'me' time, that is definitely on my list of to be addressed. Right after I sort out a ride round Etna...
