Westminster Bridge looking a tad busy… Braved the rain...

Braved the rain and the crowds for the Boat Pageant - great but tiring… Sprog was amazingly well behaved despite the crowds which were probably pretty scary for a 5yr old (and fairly scary for a hugely pregnant person!)

Dressed up for the schooljubilee party as “one of the King’s knights”…

It was probably a bit irresponsible to let him watch the Monty Python ‘Knights of the Round Table’ skit before sending him off to school…

Bear Feet

I know why bare feet is called bare feet… it’s because bears don’t wear shoes or socks so when your have bare feet you’re like a bear…

Me: What are you doing?

Fri, 25 May 2012 17:02:57 +0100

Me: What are you doing?
Sprog: I'm just in the garden
Me: Doing what?
Sprog: Making poo!

Thankfully not real poo... it was mud...

…That’s illegal here. You can’t have farm animals unless you have a lot of land and they can’t be kept near another person’s house.

Oh how I wish it was the same here in Britain where we’re all squashed together like rats in cages. I gather I can only complain about the fact it’s a “nuisance”, the local council have said I have to keep a diary of the occurrences and they suggest I try to resolve it amicably. I’m not sure I fancy knocking on their door and seeing how amicable they would be when I ask them to get rid of their pigs.

Stuck in the house with windows closed surrounded by 3 loads of washing that I can’t hang out on the line. Big thanks to the inconsiderate tossers living behind us who decided to keep pigs right next to our garden. I really appreciate you ruining the first sunny weekend we’ve had in weeks and that I can’t even have my conservatory doors open because the 3 giant pigs you keep 10 yards from my back door fucking stink…

“Mummy, why did you shout ‘Oh sh*t!’?”

“Because this jacket potato just exploded in my face!! You do know you’re not supposed to say shit?”

“Yes, I’ll only say it when I’m a grown up.”

Please excuse the swears and also the state of my oven, I keep forgetting to get the cleaner geezer in. I suppose the self detonating potato is a good catalyst…

On the London Eye

Me: Look! Big Ben!

Sprog: Look! A cool computer thing!

Verdict: London skyline less interesting than Samsung Galaxy Tab…

How to make milk foam with no steamer

How to make milk foam with no steamer:

Sprog loves “Cup-of-chino’s” when we go for coffee, I don’t have the desire/space/cash for a milk steamer so this seems to have appeased his need for the odd home made Cup-of-chino…

Sprog wanted to put a penny in the penny mangle, when I said he would have to use his own penny to be mangled he was horrified. Luckily just spinning the giant wheel kept him amused and no pennies were harmed.

Tea at The Ritz - am stuffed. Managed to liberate some scones - they don’t do doggie bags apparently… tsk.

Must be nice

for the people who have that sense of entitlement that enables them to park on the double yellows at school while the rest of us plebs trek up the road, in the pissing rain, to our legally parked cars.

There is nothing more un-nerving...

than when you have to empty out a small boy’s school trouser pockets before they go in the washing machine. I always dread what I’m going to find in there…

Swimming wasn't on either...

Oops

Yesterday Harrods, today Poundland.

He seems quite happy with today’s £1 Fireman outfit despite wanting the £10,000 mini Lotus 7 yesterday…

“Mummy, why have you got those yukky toenails!?”

Asked very loudly in the swimming pool changing room. I guess I won’t bother again then…
