Yesterday we took a trip to Sainsburg’s to buy our shopping for our Christmas Eve/Housewarming party. It should be a good one, we have around 12 people coming from 12 to 6pm. Ames is making some canapes and mulled wined so it will be very festive in Vicars Hill!
Colin, Becky and Carol came to visit today. Colin installed a new shower pump for our shower because the old one had siezed. As with all projects of this kind it ended up taking all day. First of all we had to chisel off the tiles that had been applied to the side of the bath, then the tap that was supposed to drain the cold water tank broke off. So two trips to Wickes later and lot’s of swearing we have a fully functioning power shower.
Jake has been a little star over the last few days. He has taken to playing a game of ‘give and take’. He will hold out his hand with a piece of toast for example, give it to the other person and then ask for it back by splaying his fingers and pointing. Yesterday he pretty much said dada all day, which was nice to hear. We went into Lewisham in the afternoon to buy him a new hat and mittens because the weather has turned very cold and foggy.
