Being Three

Decided to take it a bit easy in the morning, therefore intending to maybe be a little late to Matilda's 3rd birthday party in Surrey. Jumped in the car club car without a care in the world, embarking on what ended up being a 2.5 hour journey down there ... very late!

But once the baby was fed and changed, she had slept all the way bless her, we had a wonderful time. We were passing the babies round, admiring Mattie's new fairy outfit and, in Charlie's case, springing around on the wet bouncy castle. The weather couldn't decide what it was doing, once minute torrents, next minute beaming sunshine. All in all a lovely afternoon, great to be outside, and great to be fed so much cake!

Headed back via Ikea to have a look around, and managed to come away with only a set of new glasses and some serviettes ... not bad! Also had a bit of a better idea about cots and kitchens.

Brighton Rocks

Spoiled rotten by Theresa and Demitris, on a clear chilly Sunday in Brighton.





Was a jolly and social afternoon, with Keith, Danni and darling little Matilda joining us for lunch. She is just so GOOD! Plays happily with cars and balloons alike, no screaming, whinging or anything. I am sure she must have her moments (as all kids do), but it is a joy to see her grow from the cutest baby into a fantastic little girl.


Good to hear from David on Skype, Theresa and Charlie are going out to see him in April which sounds like a great trip. T and D seem very well, especially having just come back from jaunts to Greece and Israel to see family. Unsurprisingly, especially with Matilda there, the 'G' word came up ('Gra******dren'), but it doesn't bother me anymore. Having just spent a long weekend feeling supremely 'loved up' hanging out with Charlie Fish, I am very content and at peace with both myself and him.


Going for dinner with Andrew tomorrow to catch up and pick his brains on a few things. I can't help but feel that 2010 will be an interesting year ...
