I've just taken up speed reading. Last night I did war and peace in 20 seconds. I know it's only 3 words but it's a start!

Not much to say today, other than my children make me very proud.  It is not that just that they are amazing, but it is that they will try (unless tired) even when deep down, they are terrified.  But like all, or rather most parents (not my father for example) my kids make me glow with pride all the time as I am biased towards them.

In other news, I am getting excited over Star Wars and on Sky, there are two shows that the children and I are watching.  Star Wars Rebels and Lego Star Wars, Droid Tales.  I have been told by them that I am not allowed to watch it at midnight, but I am going to do my best to get them to let me.  I will try guilt as when a child, I was taken to watch the original film, then Return of the Jedi, missing out Empire Strikes Back, something as a child was devastating.  If I keep mentioning that...

And last of all, I have promised to start cycling.  I am hoping to do it before New Years as it was one of my aims.  But I have now bought a new bicycle pump which means that I have one less excuse!
