I’ve been riding my bicycle now for two days to and from Clapham Junction. On both days I was able to find a space in the racks. I wrote to Wandsworth Council to get the vandalised frames removed. I was surprised to receive a reply. The frames have been tagged and will be removed if …

Commute to Clapham Junction
Over the weekend I tried out my route to Clapham Junction. On paper the route should take roughly 30 minutes but in reality it was more like 45-50 minutes. What annoyed me was the amount of traffic lights that always seemed to turn red when I approached :-(. What also annoyed me were the number …
He Walks
I thought I’d make an entry to mark the occasion. Jake is officially a toddler. He now walks with confidence and more importantly can now get up from a sitting position into a standing position. He has also cut his 11th tooth and the 12th is on its way. Yesterday the poor lambs gums were …
Oh sunny day
The weather of late has been pretty dire, especially the last Bank Holiday Weekend, but I suppose that is par for the course. This morning is lovely however. There are a few clouds and a nice breeze is rolling in from the south. I have just come back from the train station. I left a …
14 months later
Jake is 14 months and 6 days old. He now has 10 teeth including a fine looking molar (the 9th). The 10th has just begun to poke through the gum. Yesterday he got ink all over his fingers while playing with the printer. I have now taped down the lid. He is sure to get …
Cycle to Forest Hill
I biked to Forest Hill today. The route was very pleasant. I went through Ladywell Fields and then across Blythe Hill Fields before descending down to Brockley Rise. The views from Blythe Hill Fields were very panoramic and to make a change the weather was nice and sunny. On the way back my U-lock came …
Flu comes to an end
The vicious flu Jake has had for the past couple of weeks seems to be on its last legs. Jake has a slight cough and what appears to be an ear infection but the eye infection has cleared up immensely. Jake has been a pet recently. He smiles and laughs. He is fond of pointing …
Week of illness
What a week it has been. Jake has been suffering from a stomach Flu which has really knocked him for six. He didn’t eat very much at all for at least three days. What we did give him, including water just was vomited back up. Over the last few days he has started to drink …
New Shoes
It’s been another hot day and prior to that the hottest day so far. Jake has started to cry to get his own way. Any observer would think some great calamity has befallen him but in fact he is just being impish ;-). Jake and I have taken to wrestling. He particularly likes it when …
Developments
Before I forget. Jake’s latest developments recorded for posterity. I wonder if this blog will still be around when he is my age? uummm. One to ponder on… Standing firmly for as long as 30-40 seconds Writhing when he doesn’t want to be carried Inching around the kitchen using the worktop as a hand-hold Being …
