My wife has been ill recently so I have been working from home. Consequently I haven’t been on the bike as much as I would have liked. We are coming to the end of April and thank god the rain is coming to an end. It has been raining pretty much every day for the …

Time has flown
Jake is now 6 and has been for a while. We had a joint Hogwarts party with Charlotte and Ben because Antonia too is a great fan of Harry Potter. The venue was great, a church hall a stones throw away from Crofton Park station. The best thing though was the entertainer. She came dressed …
Dodgy burgers and prolonged illness
It’s the tail end of February and I’ve just realised that this years photo February project has passed me by. Photo March has a nice ring and the days will be longer and hopefully a little warmer. It’s been an odd sort of month. I was off sick for a week. Amy was ill at …
Mia is Two!
Little Mia was two on Wednesday! I took the day off to tidy up and generally help get everything ready. For lunch Amy and I took ourselves over to Blackheath to Giraffe. I had a tasty burger and fries and Amy had a Vietnamese salad which was new that day, and according to Ames extremely …
New year and all that
Well, I’ve kind of succeeded in keeping up the cycling over the winter. Of course the run up to Christmas was a non-starter. So far this year I have done the mega 30 mile commute twice, the other times I have succumbed to the 10k ride to Waterloo station. Every time I do this it …
Christmas 2011
With a heavy heart I went back to work today. I say ‘back to work’ but no travelling was actually involved. Instead I trudged grudgingly to the loft where my home office is. I had a great Christmas and so did Jake and Mia. On Christmas day the lounge floor was awash with scattered present. …
Toothy grin
It’s official, the tooth has gone. Jake and I were sitting in the lounge on Saturday night. Jake was eating his favourite fruit, namely a bapple(a Miaism there). Suddenly he exclaimed “Daddy! My tooth has gone!”. And yes, it had gone, where we do not know. We checked the lounge and could find no sign …
Wobbly tooth
One of Jake’s bottom teeth is on the verge of coming out. Jake plays a game where he sucks the tooth back and pings it forward. It can move about 45 degrees so I imagine it will only be a few more days before the peg pops out. Jake said yesterday that a boy lost …
Mia waking up
Mia woke tonight at around 11.30. I went in to her room and she was sitting up. Her cheeks were very red. I asked her if her teeth were sore and she pointed to her mouth and nodded. She then said she wanted some ‘dortor’ or water. We had a little chat and then I …
The Wollny Family
An update is overdue I think. Today is the last day for Jake before half-term and it cannot come too soon. He has succumbed to the end of term mania and exhaustion. This hasn’t been helped by a hacking cough and viral infection last week. This moved from his chest to his tongue. Poor Jake …
