This is the view of the valley that Tom walks past twice a day and I walk past whenever I go to the High Street. Lovely, huh? Of course, this photo was taken on a sunny summer's day, so to get an idea of what it's like now, take away the sun, add mud and reduce the temperature by 15C. Anyway, I digress. The real reason for this post is to submit a complaint about a song: Old MacDonald had a farm. I'm sick of singing it! Unfortunately, it is our daughter's favourite song and it is requested several times a day. Eliza sings along and suggests an animal for the farm. Initially, Old MacDonald had a farm solely consisting of pigs but he has branched out recently and now has a substantial duck farm. He also has the occasional sheep or cow (hence the photo.) I know babies love repetition but I think I need to change songs before I go ga-ga.

I had a lot of luck using "Someone to watch over me" to calm a screaming toddler at church creche the other week... For some reason, though, "Summertime" wasn't anywhere near as effacious.
