I now ride to Waterloo from Ladywell most days. I had a bit of a wobble when I started. I didn’t research my route properly and ended up by the Imax on the other side of Waterloo. I also encountered some ‘white van rage’ which was a little disconcerting. I now have the route cracked. …

Big bed
Jake has been in his big bed since Saturday night. It was a little tricky to put together. Those scandinavians and their diagrams. Jake loves his bed. We bought him a new duvet with wizards and dragons on it. He loves to cuddle into it while clutching his ‘boudoir’ pillow. How very decadent. It is …
Business as usual
It’s exactly one week since we packed our bags and headed home from Texas. It was a lovely break. Three weeks is enough time to completely relax and forget about the issues at home. San Francisco was excellent, in fact, better than I expected it to be. We spent our days walking the streets and …
On my tod
Amy and Jake went to visit her mum yesterday for the weekend and so I was left on my tod. I was working from home and managed to do a good 9 hours work. In the morning I went with Amy and Jake to Brockley station. There was a bitter wind blowing across Hilly Fields. …
Choo Choo Taim
Jake is loving his train set. Every morning his pulls out the bag of trains and says “Daddy sit down!”. We have tried to curb this way of talking by asking him to say it nicely which he does. His role playing is coming on. He has a little campsite set with a tent, stove, …
Snow in April
Last weekend was a little strange. I woke up on Sunday to see the whole area blanketed in snow. The cars were covered and it was a blizzard out there. Of course Jake was very excited. He has seen snow before but I’m sure he doesn’t remember. We all went downstairs for breakfast. I went …

Hotoptoptor
We went into Lewisham yesterday to get Jake’s birthday present and to pickup some items for the Teddy Bear’s Picnic party. On the way, just by the roundabout we saw a Virgin Air Ambulance on the grass. A large crowd had gathered. We pointed this out to Jake who at the time was ‘in the …
Jake and funny sayings
Yesterday we were having ‘bib-on’. Jake was excitedly telling me how he had a ‘baby coin’ to put in the piggy bank as well as a ‘daddy coin’. I guess this meant a 1p and a 2p. What a complete pet lamb!! We had a nice evening. When I arrived he ran into the loungedsaying …
Garden
The garden work is going well. Paul has been working hard for two weeks now and has come a long way. We live on a hill and the garden slopes down and to the left. On the left hand side there was a crumbling wall and a decrepit path. We got a quote from Paul …
