Jun. 19th, 2006 07:11 pmGet up, sit with head over bowl of steam and peppermint oil, blow nose six thousand times, eat breakfast, blow nose seven thousand times, take brand new packet of tissues for day's outing.
08:40 approx, leave the house for Reading West Station. Go to Reading, go through the barriers to the cash machines, go back, buy tea and evil Oasis fruit juice drink which turns out to be owned by Coke, board train to Richmond.
On train, singing: Monkey song, butterfly song, lion song, elephant song, seesaw marjy daw, some others. Also drawing (cats), and looking out the window (houses, sheep, trees, cars, diggers, trains, daisies, clouds, sky).
Arrive Richmond, through barriers to loos, return and board tube.
Arrive Kew Gardens station, buy more tissues in Tescos because packet I had two hours ago is now empty, buy bread, walk to Kew Gardens with bread, enter Victoria Entrance at 10:45, go to the loo again, walk to Main Entrance, see D&J and assume they're them, see L and know they're them at 11:05, go find the Secluded Garden.
Roses have recently been pruned in the garden, so give each toddler a pink rose cecily, find Duke's Garden with pond, wash roses, wash toddlers, remove Linnea's cardigan and hang it on the buggy to dry.
Find baby axolotls in Princess Diana building. Also find proper aquarium bit with water dragon, crabs, frogs, and really big fish.
Picnic!
Walking and wandering. Toilet seeking mission. Cake seeking mission successful including dance of victory when nice chap finds ingredients list for chocolate brownies and says I can eat them. Hurrah!
More running around, then home again home again.
Dinner on, bathtime for Linnea, feed her dinner, gallop her into bed.
Rob is reusing her bathwater.
I'm listening to I'm sorry I haven't a clue from http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio4/progs/listenagain.shtml#i because I was tipped off that there's a version of Killing me softly sung to the tune of Bare Necessities. Oh my word. Go now and listen. It's amazing. The answer is blowing in the wind to the tune of Day trip to Bangor is pretty good too.
