NS August 6th, 2007

I took The Noble Child to Westminster on Friday to meet Paul for lunch alongside the river. Then, after he’d gone back to work, we walked along South Bank watching the street performers. I had a cheeky Cornetto while I browsed the South Bank Book Market and then we headed back to Waterloo to catch the train home. The weather was perfect, warm and breezy but not too humid. Finally, we get a taste of summer.

Then on Saturday morning, we took Amelia to a cool playground down the road from the in-laws’ house. We played on more equipment than Amelia did, I think!

It was an incredibly warm and sunny weekend here in the UK, which made quite a change from the previous 3 months of rain, cool temps and cloud cover. It put me in such a good mood, I don’t think I’ve felt this happy over an entire weekend in a looooong time. The sun brings out the good in me.

This week will be spent preparing for our holiday to Crete next week. We’ll be gone from the 14th to the 24th so I’m afraid that blogging will be non-existent for that period of time. I’ve just discovered that the ancient plumbing system doesn’t allow for toilet paper to be flushed down the loo, you have to keep it in a separate container and take this out each day instead of flushing anything. So I think it’s fair to say that there won’t be much in the way of internet access there either.

Oh, and can I just say how fucking incredible the sales are at the moment? I’ve gotten more bargains in the last week than I think I ever have (bar my charity-shopping student days). Sunglasses for £7, a long-sleeve top for £8, a dress (from Monsoon no less!) for £13….it’s like the gods want me to go shopping. At least that’s what I keep telling Paul. Sucker.
