I hate Balamory
It’’s not so much that I hate the programme itself – there are several worse children’s programmes on TV such as Peppa Pig where the role models are generally rude and not the best characters to follow – at least in Balamory it tries to teach people to help each other and people are generally polite and well-mannered. So the role models are ok, it’s just very surreal…The problem I have is that my little man has an absolutely fascination with it! It seems to be on every single minute of the day at the moment. He doesn’t really watch it all the time, he’s playing most of the time – but he likes it on in the background.
I’m not a fan of the kids watching TV all the time. In fact, I’m dead against it, but they’ve been tired all weekend, and it just means that they can relax a bit more, and it doesn’t mean that they get so stressed out – but I can’t wait until he goes to bed in a few minutes so I can turn this off!
Apart from the Balamory addiction, he’s a little treasure. Gorgeous smiles, lovely new chat. It’s such a lovely age, with new words coming all the time, and him copying and understanding everything that is going on around him. He’s lapping it up, and ok, he’s trouble, but he’s just a little boy really – full of cheek. He’s a complete wuss if his big sister brushes past him, but he can play fight with me and he’s roaring with laughter! Little bugger!
Just cooked my first mince curry, all from scratch – smells and tastes fantastic. Can’t wait to get more curries into the repertoire – it’ll be biryani next I think. Then, that’s most of the family recipes covered, I’ll start on the Madhur Jaffrey book! Its very surprising how easy it is once you know how to do the basics. I’m loving that I’m getting that little bit more time to do more cooking – it’s not easy with kids so young, but I’m managing – just!
Well, this post was more of a test of the ‘Windows Live Writer’, so I’ll call it quits now and see how it works!
