We had a terrible night last night. Mia woke at 1am. When I went in she was burning up and not a happy bunny. After a feed she went back to sleep, but only for an hour! This time she did not go back to sleep. After trying unsuccessfully to put her down, I took …

Boo boo
Oh dear. I made a boo boo today. I was feeling very pleased with myself. Single-handledly(well almost) I had fed and clothed Jake and got all his school things together, ready to leave the house at 8am on the dot. Amy came too because we were to have a nice coffee at Luke’s mums Brazilian …
First day at school
After what seemed an eternity Jake is back at school and in Reception no less. He looks so cute in his new uniform. He has a white polo shirt, blue sweatshirt and grey shorts. He was also wearing his new black school shoes. Jake was fine in the morning and got dressed without any trouble. …
Skyride day
Mia woke at 5.15am and I took her downstairs. I put her in her usual place on the sofa bolstered by the nursing pillow. While I had my head turned away she launched forward and went flying off the sofa, hitting the side of her head on the floor :-(. Luckily she was okay after …
Happenings
Mia has been waking like clockwork at midnight and 4am. Without fail. Every night. The reason? Not sure. Could be a growth spurt or perhaps teething. Those elusive pegs still have yet to make an appearance. She has graduated from ‘daddadadaada’ to the emphatic ‘hed! hed! hed!’ :-). She is still practising her crawling. She …
Camping
On Saturday I decided that today was to be the garden camping treat for Jake. We went up into the loft and while Jake sat next to the door I carefully lifted the tent out of the miniscule crawlspace. I emerged covered in dust and what looked like black soot. When I unpacked the tent …

This route brings together some of the meanest hills of Lewisham. After loading the map into my G1 I set off. I started the …
Continental Gatorskin Tyres
I have been looking for a while now to upgrade my tyres on the commuting bike. The Kona Dew Drop came with stock 37mm Continental CountryRide tyres which although fine for their intended purpose are not the lightest or speediest tyres around.What initially piqued my interest for a thinner, lighter tyre was the fact that …
The latest developments of Mia Moobs
Mia is still officially the most smiley baby in the world ever! She is just so happy and contented. She only cries when she really wants something. She will wake up gently mewling. We will go into her bedroom and she will look up and give us a big gummy smile. It really does melt …
Sans L’enfants
This weekend was the Dunwich Dynamo, which by all accounts was the best ever. Warm, balmy temperatures combined with a nice tailwind and attended by more than ever. 1400 cyclists I believe. It looks like it’s definitely on the cards for next year In between I hope to ride my first 100 miler. And also, …
