Grandad's wiggling!

Self Portrait:Podge

Just like the Italians...

Off for an after dinner stroll - and the baby fell asleep, so it did its job!

Oops, I did it again!

Oh deer!

It's a goal (in injury time, Gerrard)

Spikey

The view from the window next to my PC

(the slow news day didn't take long to come!)

Lucky me: Inspired by a friend's 365, I thought I'd post a picture of the walk the baby and I do most days.

This is at the back of our building, so only 30 seconds walk from our living room. You can see Chiswick Bridge which looks far away, but in reality is only 5 minutes walk. We couldn't afford one of the flats with the river views, but not many Londoners have this, Barnes Common, Kew Gardens and Richmond Park all in walking distance. Not a bad spot to live in.

I can't help thinking I wasted my photo today, as the above could've been posted on a slow news day instead! However, I have to include a few more as today I braved painting for the first time with my daughter in our own home - whoooo-hoooo! She loved it too:

Fuelling up beforehand. I was well nervous (necking vodka in the kitchen!).

Getting stuck in.

The end result (I've got 6 more of these if anyone has any suggestions as to what I could do with them!).

The damage (not too bad I didn't think?)

We enjoyed it so much we even made a video for Nana and Grandad in Oz.

According to the baby, she's not the baby, she's Mumma.

Faddy diet: this is my dinner for a week

The most played with toys in this house are:

Absolute precision planning: booked the baby's party today. What can I say? I'm cancerian!

And, I'm sneaking this one in, just because I can't resist a cute picture of her, do you think she's pleased about something?

Not long after breakfast, while the baby was wearing just her nappy we asked her if she wanted to go to the park with Daddy.

Delighted, she ran to her room, and returned in this get-up:




note the bangle, I've taught her everything I know about accessorizing!

Little tiny pony, so sweet!

The start of the season's going well then honey?

My first baby girl

One day, my baby girl will eat spaghetti without getting it all over her face. I hope it's not too soon!

Dress up Sunday (the Scottish wig was better, but she wouldn't let me snap her in it!).

Beautiful cakes

The only cute thing in the Sealife Centre... (don't go there, it sucks imo)

The birthday girl still has it at 84!

Peace: how to keep a nearly two year old calm and quiet for 5 minutes.

Pretty (sorry yet another baby pic, but she is sweet).

Happiness is: a new sofa after months on a futon

Gurn...

Self Portrait: Rory and I had a taste of Saturday nights in days gone by!
