Last night I was worried. I looked out of the window at 9pm and everything was blanketed in a downy duvet of snow. Minutes later I saw a car career into one of the neighbour’s parked cars. After watching CBB, we went to sleep although it took me ages to actually drift off. Amy was …

All is well
Jake has come out of his night time terrors. After the last bad sleepless night we had, Ames had a talk with him explaining why Mummy and Daddy needed their sleep and that if we were tired we would not be able to go out during the day. In addition the Tower of Doom was …
Hello 2010
Goodbye Noughties, hello Tenties or Tens or Tennies. Well another new year is upon the Wollny family. Baby was due yesterday but no sign. I am back to work tomorrow and Jake is still poorly. In fact the poor mite has been poorly all over the Christmas break. We had some sleepless nights just before …
Let it snow
It looks like we will having a white christmas this year. Yesterday at around 4pm it started to snow and soon was very blizzard-like. Cars were slipping and sliding on the hill, each one getting perilously close to ours and Tricias cars! The snow didn’t last long about an hour. I had to take Jake …
Poorly Jake and sleep deprived parents
It’s 10:36. Amy is asleep downstairs and so is Jake. On Saturday night Jake was awake for what seemed most of the night. He just didn’t want to go to sleep. We both took our turns going in to calm him every time he woke, with the aim of trying to get him to relax …
Jake’s Nativity
I took a half day off today to go to Jake’s first nativity play. Sally arrived last night and the three of us left at around 1.20pm. Upon arrival at St. Dunstans main building and after directions from the lady at the main desk, we were led into the nursery ‘activity’ room by the older …
Very cold
I decided to ride to Feltham this morning. It was a very cold start. Around 2 degrees. I was wearing my skull cap, merino long-sleeve top, short sleeve jersey, Foska winter jacket, bib-longs, ronhill bikesters and two pairs of socks. This lot kept me toasty for the entire ride. In fact my head got a …
Rain again
I have just got in from a very wet commute from Waterloo. I did not have my Hope Vision 1 because I forgot to charge the batteries last night. Instead I had to rely on my puny cateye EL135 with a failing battery. Eeek! Before I set off from Waterloo I waited for a gap …
Blue sky
The blue sky has returned after a week of frankly awful weather. We had high winds and lots of rain. In the north-east they fared much worse with much of Cockermouth under water. This week I have been working from home because a rail bridge near Feltham collapsed. Until yesterday the only way to get …
5th Wedding Anniversay Weekend
I spent Saturday painting the woodwork in the hallway in preparation for the new carpets. A major landmark was finishing off Mia’s room. The cot is in there, along with the changing station and all the other nick-nacks that a baby needs :-). Jake spied his rocking horse that Amy had taken from his room …
