• Another morning spent at the playground, swinging on the swings, sliding down the slides and building and knocking over sandcastles in the sandpit. It is so much fun to watch how Little O plays and to see how much both boys love swinging on swings next to each other. Having two little boys really is an amazing thing.
• Little O slept at lunchtime today. We must have exhausted him in the playground in the morning, but it gave Husband and I some valuable time to get some bits and pieces done in the apartment.
• We managed to watch some of the Olympics. I got all emotional at the medal ceremony for the Men’s 10,000 metres, which I found interesting, seeing as when we were back in the UK in the summer it was the first time that I had not felt that it is “home”.

So, I’ve now completed seven days, and although I have struggled on some days, it has been a really good exercise in looking for the good in each day. So as not to bore you (and myself) any further, I am going to just take this as a weekly exercise and join in every Thursday with Reasons to be Cheerful.
