June

Kids are growing. Life is busy. The California trip edges ever nearer. E starts preschool in September. C is 6 months old.

We lunched at a pub on the Thames on Saturday and met friends in Covent Garden on Sunday.

Everything is basically going well, although life gets hectic around bedtime. C has started solids. We were going to do the Japanese tradition of giving her a grain of rice, but she had other ideas, and snatched a piece of pitta bread off a tray at a barbecue we went to last week. After soggifying it, she was wreathed in gummy smiles, so...

Anyhow... here's some photos.

Lunch on the Thames, near Hammersmith Bridge.

Slurp.

Banananmghomnomnom.

E's play is getting lots more imaginative and complicated. That's a level crossing, bridge, and tunnel on the same track. Recently, we added a little train station.

Salad grown in our back garden. Some rocket (arugula) plus random other varieties. Did you know you can tell the type of person you are from the kind of salad you eat? Yeah! Elton John's a rocket man. (I'll get my coat....)

E at the Science Museum recently, learning about cause and effect.


Probably won't update again before we set off to CA, but will try for more regularity!
