I had another late night yesterday. I started tinkering with Amy’s Eeepc and before I knew it it was 12.30am. I spoke to Amy earlier in the evening. I could hear that Jake was still stirring in his bed so I went in and asked he he wanted to speak to mummy. Of course he …

Cycling
I looked out of the window this morning. No frost but looking a little grey and drizzly. I put on my bib longs, new buff and merino top. Out on the road it wasn’t cold at all. I didn’t need to put the buff into balaclava mode, but actiing as a scarf it did a …
More purchases
It was very cold today. In the morning there was a layer of snow covering the pokey paso. Jake and I decided to take a trip to Bluewater. Jake wasn’t sure at first but soon came round when I mentioned bath bombs. Jake was also excited about taking the Stokke which has been saved from …
The new one
I must say I’m starting to get excited about the prospect of having another little Wollny(or would that be two) running about the house. The due date is July 16th. That means another crab for Amy to contend with :-). Amy is just starting to ‘show’. Last time with Jake we had an early scan. …
New cycling purchases

The new pair are still made by Sealskinz but are thermal, mid length and have a merino wool lining. I put them on and spent the day walking around the …

Peeing with rain
The weather gods have been kind to me today. No rain on the way in. Pouring down all day in prodigious quantities and then dry on the way back. I left work later than usual so cycled the more direct route through New Cross. At the end of Old Kent Road I managed to upset …
No more fairweather cycling
I have decided to try and cycle throughout the winter months. So far it has been okay. I’ve had two wet days and one cold day when I needed my bib longs for my knees and nether regions and fleece headband to keep my ears warm. I’ve recently been upgrading my cycling wardrobe to make …
Tante
Tante has come to visit for the weekend all the way from Denmark. It was great to see her again after almost a whole year! Jake was very excited when he woke on Saturday morning. In fact he was so excited that when Tante came downstairs he didn’t know how to cope with such excitement …
