A very eventful Monday

Good: Big Cub received her Dr Who runners up prizes and there was a showing of their filmed production of their script during assembly. Little Cub also received a certificate because she got into Golden Book twice in one week!
Bad: supper was a rather rushed fractured affair, as Little Cub had her first session as a Rainbow today. Big Cub stayed to help and is considering going back to Brownies for the few remaining months. As for supper, it was still v tasty tho I did smash a badly positioned glass in my haste.
Notable: Tiny Cub eating noodles by hand, Little Cub on springs after Rainbows, Big Cub on springs with her prizes. Knitting club at my favourite cafe, Boyden's Kitchen; knitting bunting, getting my head round the shaping and pattern and suddenly being able to "see" how the stitches should look for each row.
Really good day.

Sumptuous Sunday

Good: being back at church. I definitely missed it last week. Especially as I had such a bad day then, and the reason we skipped turned out to be quite a disappointment.
Bad: babycub didn't really sleep properly in the day.
Notable: we had an impromptu day together with a friend we haven't been spending enough time with. It was really good to be together again.tie

a much better day for Friday

Much much happier today, not sure what made the difference, but here's my brief overview


Good: fantastic lunch of chicken couscous salad at Boyden's Kitchen


Bad: picnic spot too windy and breezy for all (inc BabyCub) to enjoy properly


Notable: felt a strong urge to catch and speak to a woman walking with a baby in a framed back pack walking a Tibetan terrier, so sped up to do so, and found she was not only friendly, but looking for someone to give her a friendly word after a rotten day, and also had been looking for a Friday morning activity to bring her baby to, also had been wondering how to get training advice on her dog, and also if there was a better way to carry her baby on her back! I think I might be able to help with all 3!

Dissatisfied on a Thursday

Just one of those vaguely irritating days, where irritation has cumulative effect, & compounds itself.
Good: Tinycub happily sitting on playmat with toys, cheerfully playing for quite some while.
Bad: winning script wasn't as good as ours, not true to backstory, no famous person, rubbish solution. Was all in TARDIS so easy to film, but I can't help thinking 3 cutsie white girls make for more Blue Peter standard viewers.
Notable: it is very hot weather.

Mopey Monday

Good: impromptu hot choc after dog walk with baby snoozing in pram & tired doggie outside my fave cafe.

Bad: depressed Papa wolf, it is a nasty disease that taints & decays all that it touches. I feel guilty that I feel so hurt & neglected, when it isn't about me at all, I feel so angry, I want revenge on this plague.

Noteworthy: TinyCub has been sleeping & eating well today and ate hearty oxtail stew meat yesterday too. Still won't accept a spoon near his mouth other than a few mouthfuls but loves to be fed by hand, whether ours or his own!

A soggy Thursday

Good: lunch - poached rhubarb, pistachios, yoghurt & French toast.
Bad: still no television. Engineer may come tmrw.
Notable: coquilles st jaques as a gift snack fm PapaWolf as they are on offer at work. And he made them.too while I online shopped for our food...
