I have no compunctions about the latter, especially when it produces neat pieces like
archangelbeth's latest entry. Happy smile. (I realise repayment will be expected, and I am sure the universe will present suitable demands later, but, ah well.)
It is surprisingly easy and pleasant to relax with a three-and-a-half-year-old dozing in one's lap. Iolanthe is a sweet, sweet child. OTOH, watching her behaviour, and realising how little I remember of what I was saying or doing at three years old . . . well, I'm reluctant to ask my own mother about it, because of the answers I may well get.
Iolanthe, over my shoulder, demands that I "do more Gameboy". My tactic to distract her earlier ("look at the little monsters!") has worked too well.
Mmm. The sleep of desire accomplished is sweet to the soul. (And just think, once the legal editions of the DVDs reach the second season, we'll actually be able to read legible subordinates and understand some of those cryptic exchanges. "You are a shameful man!" cries Hakkai to Shien. Oh, for a better translation of that adjective.)
