Here are 3 things that made me feel happy today:

1) my kids love Harry Potter - books and movies. I have recently been called upon to draw lightening-bolt shaped scars on their heads

(“shall I draw them in makeup?”

“Will that make it better?”

“It will mean we can wash it off”

“I don’t want it to wash off - use this” [hands me a permanent marker])

Anyway! My 4-year-old asked me if she could watch “Harry Potter and the Goblin of Fire”

I said “I think it’s Goblet of Fire, baby”

“No it’s goblin. Can I watch it?”

So I put it on (yes, I know it’s not meant for 4-year olds. Shut up)

Near the end she yells “mummy! Come here!”

I go sit with her and she is watching the graveyard scene when Voldemort takes human form, albeit with snakelike nostrils instead of a nose.

She says “there’s the goblin!”

Fair call, kiddo.

2) I am currently at the hairdressers. I’ve decided on a whim to have a dramatic change. Clippers will be involved. Pics may be forthcoming.

3. I, pathetically, clicked on this link looking for actual tips that would magically make my house clean. What I found was so much better.
