the weekend * yawns*

I have just collapsed here in front of the computer to upload my photos and update my blog. I am officially exhausted. We have had a lovely weekend again. weekends never disappoint with Lily around as she loves to be with both her mummy and daddy. More people to love and admire her you see!



I have been up at 5 every morning with Lily waking up for some unknown reason. I am delaying giving her a bottle as i think 5 is still a night feed but I tell you she is having none of it and cries really loudly until she gets it, however worse than that is the fact she WILL NOT go back to sleep. Its very frustrating and unlike her. Therefore I am very crabby.

That was all made better on Saturday when we met friends Jason and Sandi on the Southbank for lunch. we went to a restaurant called giraffe, which is a chain that my brother Andrew used to work for when he lived in London. great food, lots of rose wine (for me) and good company made for a great afternoon. they treat the kids so well there as its very child friendly and Lily got given a balloon which was treated with much suspicion by the aforementioned. She was a little tired( I wonder why) so we eventually had to put her in her pram for a little nap but she was good as gold the whole day.

Today has been filled with cooking and housework, which my dear friend Veronica tells me is one of the 7 deadly sins on a Sunday. however we have a lovely clean flat and freezer filled with Lily dinners so I feel happy.



We have had a lovely 2 hours now just before bed where we were playing with Lily. eventually we are all crying with laughter. who would have thought a baby could be so funny and have such a little sense of humour. shes a delight to be around and we cannot wait to show her off In Cape Town again.



I think yesterdays boozy lunch is still got me in her grasp as I feel quite woozy so am off to sit in front of Glastonbury and eat my lovely chicken and fresh pasta and herbs. yay I love Sunday nights.

Little Lily's getting so big and so cute, kids are such a blessing. It's great when they learn how to play and laugh with you, isn't it?? Also can't wait to see her again!

It is true then - A little work a little play makes for a healthy happy day!!!! I have to say for some wierd reason that when you have done your housework and everything is spick and span it is a very satifying feeling. Pity I don't do it more often - hee hee hee. Only 32 more sleeps and I too will be laughing with that little Lily. Love you lots Mum xxx
