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...

A birthday weekend

My littlecub turned 5 on Saturday, and it was so strange because she was born on a Saturday. I kept feeling echoes of the day of her birth, even tho life is so different now. Not least because she is a middle cub now, and so spritelike and adorable around her tinycub baby brother. And I start to see shades of her elegant bigcub big sis, all grown-up at 10, travelling the world and sensible and serious. Yeah right, she has a streak of silly a mile wide in her too!
So Saturday was quiet to start and builds up to more activity.
Sunday was busier from the start but not stressful either.
Saturday:
Good: how littlecub takes time to examine and if possible play with each gift as it is unwrapped, no rushing to see what's next.
Bad: bigcub a bit spiteful, having gotten used to more attention when away recently
Notable: fabulous meal out at local Hiunanese place.
Sunday:
Good: Taste of India, bigcub serving again, making progress on finding a date for tinycub's Christening.
Bad: hearing of a friend's dog being savaged, rain when we want to be out in sun, realising I have a missing usb stick.
Notable: abba in Hindi, chilli chips, Thums Up, circussy installation play.

apologies for hiatus

Life, nosy baby, desire to feed on demand etc. Sadly blogs get last priority.
So here we are a week of Easter hols done.

Good: Woburn Safari Park, Little Cub and the BabyCub, PapaWolf and me. Lovely day out. Leaping lemurs, sneaky squirrel monkeys, dinner at Giraffe.

Bad: depression rears it's ugly head in the family again, BabyCub teethes and fevers. BigCub went away to Singapore, unnaccompanied, I was all choked, she was fine and is having a whale of a time (OK, that's good, but I feel sad too!)

Notable: Boyden's Kitchen opened. Great cafe, food, people, activities planned, it's just what the area has been needing, I am really excited about it!
