The weather has been bonkers over the last few days. We have had snow and LOTS of it. In fact most of the UK has been blanketed to some degree.
This week I, sensibly, have forgone cycling and have been working from home. I have only left the house a couple of times. Once to pick up Antonia and Jake from school and yesterday to pop down to Oscars for a coffee with Ben.
We are seriously running on rations. Yesterday we were reduced to having baked beans on toast. Reminds me of my solo Elveden days :-). Thankfully our road has now been gritted, but pedestrians have to fend for themselves on the slippery packed snow pavements.
Last night was very exhausting. Jake has developed an awful cough which keeps waking Baby M. So the whole Wollny family are suffering from severe sleep deprivation. Jake came up to the loft room at around 5.30am. Amy then had a rest there while I took Jake down to the freezing cold lounge to watch some Dr Who episodes. Baby M then woke at 6am. She drank a little milk but nowhere near her usual 6oz. She was very whingey so I decided to put her back to sleep. Luckily she did not wail too much and ended up sleeping until 9am. Result!
Jake has an appointment at the Doctors at 11am so I am hoping a dose of antibiotics will sort out his chest and ear infection.
Baby M is now properly pulling herself up and cruising. Time to dust off Jake’s cruising shoes :-). That girl has no fear. In the bath yesterday with Amy she was making herself shriek with laughter by splashing water everywhere. She found it even more entertaining when she slipped and fell backwards into the water. This as you can imagine was v stressful for both parents.
