Two nights of disturbed sleep courtesy of my lovely little girl. Last night particularly bad with her awake from about 1 am until 4. Finally got to bed about 4.30 (after waiting up a little to make sure she was back off properly) only to be woken at 6.30 by my five year old.
Feeling extremely fuzzy headed but this little gem from the lovely Jesca Hoop is managing to brighten my exhausted husk of a self:
And on the plus side. I’m a hair’s breadth away from having my latest short fiction polished-polished-polished. Should be shining by the end of next week. It’s a competition entry piece. Fingers crossed.

What a great dad you are, Dan. Everywhere I look there was snotty, coughing children and exhausted parents. It doesn’t last forever – though it’s hard to believe that at the time.
And the story – will my fingers need to stay crossed for long? They get a bit stiff these days!
We keep telling ourselves it doesn’t last. At least being this tired gives me the perfect excuse for an afternoon nap once the little one goes down. Bonus.
As for the story, hoping to enter it for The Fish Short Story Prize; the deadline is end of November for entries: http://www.fishpublishing.com/short-story-competition-contest.php
They don’t announce the results until March next year so probably best not to keep your fingers crossed for the entire time.
