Much going on, only 7 more working days until xmas (for me at least; I have the 24th off.) Of couse this doesn't mean things ease off. I have a number of big meetings this week as we outline the strategy for next year.
However, the weekend. Saturday saw a miserable day weather wise with a trip to the supermarket as a high light. My wife was out in the evening, so after putting little one down, I did a quick tidy up, and settled down to watch 'Iron Man'. The film wasn't bad, a little less silly than expected, but the finale lacked something. I'm sure they're saving plot lines for the inevitable sequels, but it did seem to just want to establish the characters with little thought to action.
Sunday we went to London. Our first train journey as a family, and it went well. Little one enjoyed the experience of being on a train, and was very well behaved. Once in London we used the underground, another experience that brought a couple of wry smiles,to head to Hyde Park and the Winter Wonderland. We wandered around the German market, enjoying the wares, and browsing the stalls. The only downside to the event was the extortionate pricing of the rides. Little one couldn't go on much, but a simple toddlers ride was £2 a go, and a giant slide, which both Mummy and Daddy wanted to go on with her, was £3 a ride!
The journey back was uneventful, and the whole day can be called a success. A spur of the moment decision, executed with the skill of experienced parents. It's only taken us almost 2 years!
Back to work now. Normal week with extra mince pies (I can hope).
