A good day. Ben is like clockwork. He sleeps, then wakes red faced and hair ruffled. He tells me what he wants all day long and I think it is a wonder, all that goes on inside him that I don’t yet know. I close the curtains and he says ‘a da da’ very definitely. Funny how different they can be from day to day. It is me too, today my back doesn’t hurt, I have energy. Perhaps it is the blue horizon of a week in Dartmouth that is getting nearer.
