Spring! No, summer!

It's so warm that if Linnea was awake, I'd take her into the garden barefoot. It was over 16C when we left the house for the second time, at 10:30. We went swimming. The pool was being warmed by the sun streaming in the windows.

We're going to an NCT coffee afternoon now, but on the way home we're stopping in the park again - last time we stopped it was raining, but this is going to be even better.

Last night, Linnea walked along the pavement part of the way to our friends' house to deliver a first birthday gift - she walked about ten houses along, and although they're narrow terraced houses, that's pretty good going. I'm so proud I might burst :)

So now I need to find her some shoes that fit; her too small ones are too small, and one of the ones that definitely fits is in another friend's house, and her too large ones are a little too large. But I think that's what we're stuck with.

Leaving shoes behind is trivial. I went into town to buy groceries today and left the nappy changing bag behind. Luckily, she managed without a change, and as a side-effect I shopped quicker than I've ever managed before. It's nice to know I can do that, though I also like having the Kit That Broke The Spine on my back so that whatever I decide to do (in my wacky, spontaneous way *toss hair*), we're prepared.

(The author would like to note that belting out Tom Lehrer songs, even if seasonally appropriate, gets one Very Funny Looks while walking home under ten tons of baby food and lunch meat and cold remedies).

Um, of course I was. It's not Christmas.

But at Christmas, I sang other things. It had much the same effect.
