Hello all. Last night was the Emerald Pea****, it was very cool and far too hip for someone not drinking, wearing flat shoes and looking rather like a milkcow. But rather good fun people watching and observing drunkeness. DH came home about 1am with a friend both of them shouting "shhhh" at each other, then proceeded watch war films until 3am wrapped curiously in a beach towel. It was so funny it wasn't cross making, naturally I was up for a wee anyway....

But I must admit I played on the hangover this morning, we had our 4d scan and went with a friend and her toddler, who I encouraged in a game of 'lets make lots of noise' on the xylophone... ha ha ha that'll teach him But the scan was a bit rubbish, Little Miss was stubbornly curled up facing backwards. We tried: cold icy water, lots of chocolate, a walk round the park, jumping and wriggling and eventually ice on my belly to get her to walk up and shift which she did, and then promptly put her hands up over her face. So no pictures. I'm going back on Tuesday to try again as they don't charge you unless you get the pics. Had to have a bath to warm up when I got home! Lovely to see her though, she's so big, and kinda looks like a baby now and not an alien. Which is nice....

I've just had a baking frenzy. Made muffins with All Bran (the theory being I'll eat any muffin and it's a good way of getting chopped figs and some fibre down my neck without my brain going BORING), a rather nice new recipe for Cinnamon and Walnut Slice which is dead healthy except for the syrup mix that I'm about to put on the top. And we're having baked figs for pudding tonight. I suppose I ought to eat a vegetable at some point to balance all this sugar out te he he I am RAVENOUS all the time at the moment.

how are you all and what are you up to? No news from Kyra - do you think we can hope now?
