Jake is now 6 and has been for a while. We had a joint Hogwarts party with Charlotte and Ben because Antonia too is a great fan of Harry Potter. The venue was great, a church hall a stones throw away from Crofton Park station. The best thing though was the entertainer. She came dressed as Professor McGonagall and had the children rapt the whole time with magic tricks and party games. Never again will we attempt to provide the entertainment ourselves. too much like hard work and not nearly as good! Jake was sick yesterday, actually properly sick. Poor lamb.
This was okay because I had the half day off. Colin was meant to arrive at midday but due to delays didn’t get here until 4ish. This was fine because on Monday night I put in a mammoth 4 hours extra work in the evening(cue pat on the back).
On Monday I had the whole day off to look after Mia. We had a fun time walking though Greenwich Park in the glorious sunshine watching the Olympic preparations. Apparently there is to be an anti-aircraft missile launcher stationed on Blackheath. Who would have thought? We took the DLR from Lewisham and then bought lunch at M&S. We had a quick look at the almost complete Cutty Sark and then walked over to the park. Unfortunately after lunch, somewhere between the park and Starbucks in Blackheath we misplaced Mia’s taggie blanket. Panic-stricken I rushed back and retraced our steps but to no avail. Mia was fine about this and has been borrowing Jake’s taggie. Taggie number 3 arrived today courtesy of Amazon. And it’s a big one!
