We went to the see the fireworks at Blackheath this Saturday. Originally we were going to have drinks at Ben and charlotte’s but this was cancelled because Charlotte went down with the flu. The next plan was that Ben would be taking Antonia and we would be meeting up beforehabnd so that we could walk up together. at the eleventh hour Ben phoned to say that Antonia too had succumbed to the lerg and haf a fever. The next plan was to go with Chand and Gabriel and meet at 7.30pm at our house. At 7.20pm Chand phoned to say that Gabriel had got freaked-out by the neighbour’s fireworks so he would not be going to Blackheath. The next plan, and one that happily panned out, was to meet Gary, Emma and Sam at Lewisham DLR and then to walk into Blackheath together.
The firework display as usual was excellent. Jake sat in his pushchair with his Thomas blanket over his knees looking everything like an eldery man :-). Sam quickly got bored and started running around and trying to encourage Jake to do the same. Jake was very tired so he just wanted to sit and watch the spectacle.
When it was all over we strolled back and Jake was all but asleep by the time we got home. I have arranged to meet Gary in a couple of weeks for a long overdue drinky.
