    No problem can withstand the assault of sustained thought.
    Only after the last tree has been cut down. Only after the last fish has been caught. Only after the last river has been poisoned. Only then will you realize that money cannot be eaten.

    ................. baby boy 7 months

    Now we know who you nabbed the list from today :p

    Have whizzed round baby's room, unloaded/reloaded WM and hung washing on airer/removed dry washing. Not a great amount but baby was up at 5am and I feel like a zombie so I'm off for a rest while he's asleep. Dishes are soaking in the sink so will get to those after the little monkey wakes up. Work in the kitchen will start this afternoon I think, in a series of HHCs...can't quite face it yet!
