I am really stumped about what to write this week, I could take the easy way out and post pictures of my child, but really you all know what Mackay looks like by now.
I could talk about how my diet is going (badly) and how I am frustrated with being just a little bit overweight so i can't fit any of my pre-pregnancy clothes, but I talk about my weight so much I even bore myself.
Everyone is healthy and happy, but the thing about my life is although i love being at home with Mackay it does kind of turn into groundhog day, each day is the same, each week is the same, we try to spice it up on the weekends with some type of family activity (last weekend a birthday party and the primrose hill markets) but really it's kind of monotonous. So nothing new to report in my life.
I did book our trip to Rome and Tuscany in September, which took ages because i had to book two plane trips out of different airports, a train ride, an apartment in Rome and a hire car. It took a lot of googling.
Also as I am sitting here I was thinking how a lot of my friends are having babies, which is awesome. But lots of babies and not many weddings actually. Which leaves me a bit pissed off and i have never been a bridesmaid (I was once for my dad and stepmother, but totally doesn't count) I sat next to a lady at a wedding reception who had been bridesmaid 6 times! it would have been 7 but she had to turn one down. Lucky sod. Two thoughts occurred to me 1) she must have a lot of friends and she must be really nice for everyone to want her as her bridesmaid. 2) I don't have nearly enough friends and must not be that nice.
In other less bitter news the chelsea flower show is on television at the moment which is no big deal I hear you say, WRONG! because the BBC have moved bargain hunt (me and mackay's second favourite television programme, the first being deal or no deal) earlier to 11:45 rather than 12:15 which means we miss the first 15 minutes as we are at the park at the time. Disaster! We can't wait for the flower show to be over and programming to return to normal. Just a little fact did you know that £2.4 billion pounds are spent on the gardening industry every year in the UK, more than the music industry. Which strikes me as odd as people don't have very big gardens in the UK, maybe they are buying expensive gnomes.
The English summer is doing it's typical 'get really sunny in April to get your hopes up that it will be a nice summer, then get slowly worse through May and so by the time June comes around the weather is terrible but you haven't noticed it's June then you do notice and then you get pissed off because really it's June the weather should be better by now.'
Is the weather better in New Zealand? Or have I remembered it being better? i haven't lived there for so long I forget.
I'll pop a photo of Mackay at the bottom of the post just to cheer everyone up because the weather in London is forecast to be shit over the long weekend. xxxx
