- thus Small Hare, seeing Tony Blair waving on the steps of 10 Downing Street on the news today, and waving back.

Ha. Lovely to see political engagement in one so young.

Awww!

Have you taught him to say, 'Good riddance', or is that too rude for a young Hare?

ha!

I'm marvelling at his blissful innocence. It must be wonderful to have never heard of Tony Blair.

That's JUST what Item would have said!

What a lovely child!

I was thinking of you today. One of our researchers leaves us shortly, at the end of a fixed-term contract. He and his wife are looking forward to a lovely, if hectic summer: a week after he finishes, they go to meet their children - a 3 yr old and a 7 month old. They'll have nearly a month together before he starts his new job. I'm so pleased for him!

Oh gosh, that does sound hectic!

I've been trying to think of what advice I wish we'd been given, before SH was placed. If I could go back and do the last eight months again, I'd make sure that Mr H and I both had the chance to get away and unwind, just for a couple of hours, at regular intervals, and that we arranged evenings out more regularly. We're doing it now, but it's firefighting after months of exhaustion, and we really should have sorted it out sooner.

You have evenings out? Together? Alone together?

I haven't got that one sorted yet!

But I'll pass that on.

Only one so far (and that was to an Adoption UK support event ... sigh). We have had two Sunday lunches out though, which have been very much needed (and probably better than an evening out, in some ways).
