Maternal Boast
The magazine HQ has been running a short story competition and yesterday Grumpy Girl and Petite Soeur received news that they had both been shortlisted. Because of the identical surname and address the judges thought Petite had submitted two entries but she assured them that Grump is her sister so they said, "Well, she has finished in the final 20 stories too!" Grumpy's story is about how a map triggers the end of a relationship and Petite's story is about a Stop & Go Man who swallows a bird. Excellent reading both, I have copies should anyone be interested.

We are all still grappling with our amazing new phone system but this morning I mastered 'Call forwarding' which has made a big difference.
