Special Sunday

Of course every Sunday is special,  but this was a very special packed day. For no specific reason.  But it was a very thought provoking Mass,  which we followed up by doubling the God quotient by going along to the Gurudwara (Sikh temple) with my Dad and Mum because LittleCub had been asking them to take her for ages. We realised PapaWolf had never been,  so we all went along.
There has been a good few changes since I had last been,  including screens showing the words to the hymns being sung, in gurmukhi script, English translation and transliteration in Roman script. It helped the feeling of inclusion.
The langar (blessed food) was delicious,  and very respectfully and politely served, which was far better than some previous experiences.
After lunch,  PapaWolf and the cubs and I shot off to a lovely babywearing  pop-up shop to mark International Babywearing Week,  and I enjoyed meeting more like minded mamas. BigCub had a whale of a time helping with various babies,  and LittleCub found a toddler to befriend. And I bought a sling :-D
When we got home,  GodPapa had cooked up a wonderful LittleCub-request meal of jerk chicken,  coconut rice and plantain. Yum.
The evening was rounded off by an emotional Downton Abbey. So,  to sum up:
Good: most of it,  but especially a new sling,  I have to admit!
Bad: absolutely no alone time with PapaWolf.
Noteworthy: PapaWolf trying out a wrap. Also, I'm actually finding it much easier to not snack in the evenings that I thought I would. Even if there are snack foods around.

  1. Good Yesterday: Watching Felix Baumgartner's amazing plummet to earth, breaking all but one of Col Joe Kittinger's 52 year old records. Kittinger himself talked Baumgartner through thge pre jump check lists and the look of obvious pleasure on his face as his records fell was a delight

    Bad Yesterday: Having to get up and go to work at 11 pm, having been late going to bed due to watching the plummet.

    Remark Worthy Yesterday: Bought a new bathroom scale.
