What a flippin' day.
Yesterday, you see, I somehow lost Vi's sunglasses out of the bottom basket of the buggy while at Sing & Sign. I phoned the Surestart centre today after the park (which was full of Charvers... NATIONAL SERVICE!!!) and luckily the receptionist had them. Stupidly, I went out there and then to get them with Vi in the buggy, thinking it was still too early for her to fall asleep... I was wrong. And of course, she woke up the second we got in, and of course, of course she then wasn't at all tired for her nap.
The upshot of which is, there has been no tea/writing/reading break for Mummy today :( Aaaand, of course she fell asleep again on the long walk back from Mothercare (she needs a new summer grobag - got her a vee cute Giraffe one and some new PJs) and again, woke up as soon as we got in. Luckily, she still went down to sleep for the night pretty quickly... I was expecting a lengthy battle.
Mutticare was interesting - she was itching to get out once I'd walked the mile or so to get there with her in the buggy, so I let her have a little scamper. Hmm. She zoned straight in on the Night Garden toys and got a bit cross that i wouldn't let her play with them. She was also jolly amused by a plastic umbrella and some slippers. I then got very cross with myself since after her sunglasses jumping out of the buggy yesterday, her juice cup has decided to do the same today. It was on its way out anyway, but it's still very annoying that a, things keep falling out of the buggy's basket and b, I keep failing to notice. Vi cannot be blamed for these disappearances, BTW, it's under her seat, out of reach. I must have a Gremlin following me around.
I had a lovely bottle of Rose this weekend and now I want more. Boo. Mustn't get back into the habit of drinking regularly.
Am considering making some nifty icons of bonkers song lyrics, but so far all I can think of is the 'Mr Spock' one above from Fun For Me and 'He was white as a sheet, and he also made false teeth' from Frontier Psychiatrist. Any more suggestions? the more 90s, the better.
* May also do 'Make a cup of tea, put a record on' from some-song-or-other by Elastica, as inspired by Lady B.
