Billy's 4 weeks old
now, and hasn't stopped feeding for about 4 days, poor Helen. I've been looking
after F&L when not working, and we've been having a wonderful time of it.
Lots of cycle rides, football and lego. Libby has developed a tendency to tell
anyone she encounters that her friend Lauren has a trampoline, and Fred managed
to cycle all the way over to Guildford on Saturday, which makes me very proud.
I bribed him with £1 for every mile he cycled!
The World cup kicks
off in a few weeks, and Fred and I have been collecting stickers. Kev & Jo
have been too, and we've just sent off for the last few. An old colleague at
work has also been collecting, but was worried that he'd be found out if we were
spotted swapping at work, so we’ve been having clandestine lunchtime meetings
in his jag in the car park to rummage through each others' swap pile. Pride and
dignity is no match for an elusive sticker of Thibaut Courtois or the Uruguayan
Team.
'To Kill a
Mockingbird' is one of the books I bought recently that I should have read. Next up is Middlemarch, and
Midnight's Children, Portnoy's Complaint and Rabbit, Run are all now sat on my
'Books In' shelf waiting to be read. I loved it. Atticus Finch is a wonderful,
idealised man, although much more conservative (or realistic?) than I realised.
