I, Parent

Apart from the 3 day sojourn to Devon, where M&D helped out, it's been me & Flo against the world rain for the past week.

We did a lot, but here's some highlights.

Playmobil: Pirates vs Horses (and ubiquitous Fairy)

We went to look at the stream at the bottom of the lane...apparently it's now a lake (as are the fields either side of the road..."it's a beach!", Flo declared)

This here is the infamous "Leopard Cake". Sure, it might look like a shop bought, white, cat cake with added spots (by Grandad & Flo) but I can assure you, this is a leopard cake. I told Flo we'd have a cake when she was 1 metre tall. She is 1 metre tall. She wanted a leopard.

Hell'a'Yella!

Moar Yella....and proof it didn't always rain.

Uncle Joe provided an iconic t-shirt for Flo and awesome nehru type hippy shirt for me!

Flo was so excited to get into the wetsuit and in the water that nobody noticed it was on backwards...

And then we came home and fished for rubbish in the park....

and RAN!

The rain in **** falls mainly in my old flat!

Hahahahahaa....it's pissing through the roof in my old flat and I'm warm and dry.

Tired though and still loads to do to be 100% "home". Lil and I spent the day indoors but with the bigger space this was no problem at all...and she helped me put the megadesk back together (which while I hunted for the right screws became "a house" for "hydinin").

I have also taught her how to check for "fees"...pull up trousers, point at socks and shout FEEEeeeEE!

It seems that round 1 of the deal is done (they have a 14-21 day lifecycle)...My test is two-fold:
1 - Hi Tech : Ultrabright white LED's + 3v battery + bowl of soapy water + coat hanger overnight
2 - Lo Tech : A toddler in a white, all-in-one sleepsuit being chased round the room for 5 mins.

Both tests report zero...for now.

Pics soon (lost a cable somewhere and can't be doing with the faffles network-wise)...

It's wet!
