I have been getting paranoid. Recently my knees have been painful and every time I climb the stairs my right knee starts to click. In fact last week it started to go “click-click”! Quite alarming really. I asked Nick at work, who is a keen cyclist, about the knee issue. He recommended adjusting the position …

The latest
Jake is still ‘without radish’. To celebrate, last week we took him to Bluewater to buy a buzz lightyear, however he came out with a ‘Big Red’ radio controlled fire engine which sprays water. He is very pleased with it :-). It was an action-packed weekend. On Saturday we met up with Andy at the …
Thunderstorms
Last night we had one hell of a storm. There was thunder and lightning all over the place. I went up into the loft room and could see the sky lit up while the heavens opened and the thunder rolled on. Very exciting. I went on the plinth website and the poor woman was shivering …
Where is the radish?
The big news this week, at least in the Wollny household, is that Jake has gone three nights without his beloved radish. Amy was away during this time and it was a spur of the moment thing on my part. He has been very good about it all really. The impetus was that his old …
New bed
Today was officially the first day of Jake sleeping in his new room in his new bed. The bed arrived this morning. The guys brought it into the room and then assembled it ‘on-site’. How’s that for service. Jake, of course, was very excited and was soon trying it out and giving it marks for …
Drowned rat
Okay, so I’ve fallen out of favour with the weather gods. I made it as far as Clapham Junction then ahead of me was the blackest cloud I have ever seen. Then I heard a crack of thunder and saw forks of lightning ahead of me. Luckily the wind was with me and the cloud …
Jake’s new room
Well the room has been cleared. One wall is white, one is pale green and one glorious yellow. On Saturday we took a trip to B&Q and bought amongst other things, some shelves for the alcoves in our room, some canvas prints, a green roller blind, a hanging toy tidy and some storage boxes. The …
Second Richmond Commute
Yesterday I was back on the bike and decided to commute to Richmond again. It was good apart from the wind and the threat of rain. The knees are much better know and don’t click as much. Coming home I tried my new route avoiding the worst of the Wandsworth gyratory system, but again I …
Missing the boy
We had a lovely few days in Guernsey for Colin’s 60th birthday. The weather was great and we spent a couple of days at the beach. Jake loved charging around the beach collecting water in his crab bucket and throwing stones in the water. Tom, Ads, Colin and John manfully braved the (to me) icy …
Commute to Richmond
It was a lovely morning so I decided first of all to commute to Clapham Junction, but when I arrived I thought “what the heck, let’s go to Richmond”. Which is exactly what I did. I avoided the temptation to carry on when I arrived at Richmond, having learnt my lesson from last time . …
