Are we living lightly enough?

L&M both have friends staying over and this morning, over breakfast, coffee and conversation as the teenagers slept, we hit on that question every parent dreads on a rainy day: “What can we do to keep two teenagers entertained?’

I rather unhelpfully suggested after going into the L's room yesterday that you could “Give her a bin bag and get her to tidy her room.” “Honestly, 90% of it could go straight in the bag, it’s all tat!”

I confessed, in what was fast becoming a lofty monologue, that in an ideal world, I’d settle for just three things:

1. A comfortable chair,
2. A good light,
3. My laptop.

That’s me content. Minimal.  I was ‘sent’ to work, because frankly, it was all nonsense...
