aahhh the weekend at last

Its been a quietish week here this week but its felt really long to me. I suppose its because term has started at university and that's when Kristian actually works . hee hee
Academics is a very flexible job but when it term time you do most of your work. Its been sort of a freshers week this week. Kristian met all his tutees and had to introduce himself. apparently he was so laid back all his colleagues thought he was stoned!!

So I have not had Kristian here in the mornings as he is up and at work by 9. I am usually so lazy in the mornings wondering about. This week on Tuesday, Lorraine who I met with last week brought her daughter Taryn to have coffee in blackheath village. she was leaving later the same day. We had a wonderful time and Lily played on the pavement like any good London toddler should. actually they have chairs and tables out there but she had a ball throwing her little fabric ball down the hill for aunty Lorraine to catch. great fun.

We went to singing on Thursday as well and were generally very lazy. Lily has taken to having a long afternoon nap on my bed so I lie next to her reading my book. I am reading atonement as the film has just been released here so the book was half price. I am loving it though. It is beautifully written so give it a go.

Lily has been so funny this week toddling around like a little drunkard, REFUSING to hold my hand at all. She is really strong willed and knows exactly what she wants. she just points and eh eh ehs until you get what she wants down and to her. She can show me where her head is, her tongue and her teeth as well as her belly button. she helps me rub her cream in and dress her. Its quite amazing really.

We have just got back from bluewater shopping centre where we intended to buy her some shoes. I fancied these adorable boots or these cute brown and fushcia shoes, but apparently her feet are too small. these shoes start at a 4 and she is only a 3. she was a 2 1/2 for her little cruising shoes so her feet are not growing rapidly. I was very disappointed as I really wanted those boots. So I have these cute little trainers that Steven and veronica bought her and I will still put her in her other shoes. but what about the little black patent ones i wanted....Its NOT fair.
To lift our spirits we had a pizza out at pizza express . lily had her own pizza with black olives and then ate all my black olives too. she then proceeded to drink most of my very sour still sicilian lemonade. this child is mad.

I can sense that the silly season is almost upon us. From reading everyones blogs they already seem busy busy with lots of things.The shops have started putting out their christmas stuff which I think is mad but hey i love it so i don't complain too hard. I have been planning my Christmas mantel piece already and am surfing the net looking for a fabulous garland. be warmed people i am a Christmas a holic. its my favorite time of year so you have many more of these interesting posts to come. where I am putting the tree etc etc.

anyhoo enough of my waffling. I hope you all have a great weekend. let you know about mine on monday
