  • A delicious disaster

    I think I’ve got my energy back. This weekend I’ve photographed, blogged, flickrd, crocheted, ravelried, made up a nice big shopping cart at nature baby, walked across the Heath, and, at long last, baked something. Based on the Edmonds Cook Book recipe because we never have the sour cream for the Donna Hay recipe, I…

  • Babychops ii

    Friday was 20 week scan day. Well, actually it was Thursday, but I thought it was Friday – and fortunately with some persuasion on my part I managed to get in. And, ta da… it’s a girl! We got the ultrasound lady to check several times just to make sure. She even gave us a…

  • All the things I want to write about

    (but don’t have time to) Do you know I get up, get ready, leave the house by 7.45am. Get to work around 9am after I’ve been and got a proper flat white from the Spitalfields Coffee House. Work until 5.45 or 6pm and get home around 7.15pm. Then we cook and eat by about 8.15pm…
