Travels with my pram - part three

Today we went to buy stamps and post a cheque for Uncle John.

It was extremely cold and the newsagent on Patmos is NOT what you might call child friendly - from the large step to the surly youths - but we managed.

We also got to roadtest the new starry snugglesuit from Jon's workmates

I think the above picture should be accompanied by the caption yoyoyo...or something

And the below...maybe just awwwww...

Measuring up....

I took George to Baby clinic today and he now weighs 12lbs 7oz and is 62cm long...definitely tall and slim like Daddy.
We also went to the Stay and Play for the first time and met a lovely little girl called Imogen and her Mum. I shook sleigh bells, tinged chinese bells, plinked indian pianos, and glocked xylophones...George fell asleep while I talked about Vitamin D, teething and sleeping through. One thing I did find slightly disconcerting was the fact that I felt old for the first time in my life and I'm only 34. Well, that and the pit full of red spaghetti...(!) - don't ask.


Did somebody say Oldham????!

Saturday

The weather today has been *appalling* with horrible squally showers and crazy gales...the latter made me think of this....wild is the wind...indeed.



I also had a sad phonecall to tell me a family friend had passed away - this is the third death I have heard about this week and my thoughts and love and prayers go to all of them and their families and friends.

We braved the sturm and drang to go to Burnley and I shopped in Tesco and Jon shopped in Asda...we are nothing if not democratic in our shared responsibilities(!) I purchased mainly baby and cat things, including some teething gel and an early teething ring (George is only 9 weeks and one day old but already has one tooth bud breeching his gum!!!) which I hope will be soothing for the wee fist sucking dribbler.

And speaking of.....


Lastly, we watched Ep 2 of Sherlock - I have been saving it's viewing like the build up to an incredible orgasm - it was well worth it - another wonderful piece of acting and writing...Mark Gatiss is a genius and Benedict Cumberbatch....gasp.
