Yucky Days Are Lovely

It was a very, very yucky day in the Swampy Town.

Despite being the middle (or, to be more precise, close to the end) of Summer, it felt more like the very depths of horrid Winter. It was rainy. It was cold. The sky was a menacing shade of charcoal grey. 

It was the sort of day when Outdoor Pursuits seem the definition of loony.

And so Tiger and her Cackle Mummy decided not to do them. They decided, between the two of them, to eschew All Of The Outside Things and, instead, do ...

Precisely not very much at all. Inside.

They cuddled like two sleepy bears in Mummy's big bed. They read an obscene number of stories. They ate banana, custard and rusks (Tiger) and chocolate, chocolate Quik and gluten free biscuits (Mummy).

They rolled on the floor (Tiger and Mummy). They did some research into Pluto (Mummy is still convinced it is a planet). They chewed on a giraffe (only Tiger but it did look like great fun, Mummy thought).

They listened to Triple J and danced to Macklemore and Cosmo Jarvis.

They practised sitting up (Mummy is pretty good at this usually, but on lazy days like this, even she needs practise).

They did some more cuddling.

And they both decided that Yucky Days Are Yucky ...

But they are also Lovely.
