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
I sent back my lightweight Sealskinz socks because they were too small. They were replaced by a mid thermal pair more suitable to winter commuting. 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 …
Jakey
I worked from home today as usual. Jake woke around 7.30am and went ‘downdares’. I had the luxury of a little lie-in as I had stayed up until gone 12 the previous night watching rubbish on the tv. This week Jake has started to ask “why?” to everything which is very endearing. While watching “Ice …
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 …

The cost of cycling is scary part 3

Jake at 2 years 7 months 3 weeks
I haven’t written much about Jake’s development for a while. His speech continues to improve daily. He is learning new words and how to say things. At the moment if he doesn’t want to do something he will often use the abbreviation “no, not” instead of “I don’t want to…” which is quite amusing. Yesterday …
Tallinn
We have just come back from a nice long weekend in Tallinn. For those who don’t know, Tallinn is the capital of Estonia and sits on the coast of the Baltic Sea bordering Latvia and Russia. Our hotel was just outside the Old Town, about ten minutes walk. From our room on the 23rd floor …
