Almost the weekend

I am feeling rather fit this week. Lots of walking and cycling to and from school. And despite the rather torrential rain we had on two days this week, still managing to use the bike trailer which fortunately keeps both Miss I and Miss A cosy and dry. Today I walked to and from school, then cycled up to our Family Centre (for singing with signs), in the afternoon walked around town with Miss I in the sling for almost an hour, and then cycled up to school for pick-up. I think therefore I deserve the bag of Montezuma's dark chocolate buttons I have just opened (oops, I appear to have eaten half the bag all by myself). In other news this week:

Delighted that I won the Arun Speakers Humorous Speaking Contest last night - with my speech titled 'Let Sleeping Husbands Lie'. It involved screw drivers, the milk man and a smoke alarm that kept beeping. The next stage is the Area contests in October. I've entered the other type of contests before but never this one, so was surprised and pleased to win.

Looking forward to Saturday, when Transition Chichester host their annual Green Fair, and I will be part of the inaugural Speakers Corner, giving a presentation on Green Parenting. Must practise!

Pleased to have got tickets to take Miss A to see 'How to Catch a Star' at the Havant Spring Arts Centre in October. She's enjoying the book from the library.

I was amused at our trip to the Dentist this week. Miss A coped with the dentist inspecting all her teeth and was pleased with herself that she passed with flying colours. She took along Zippy (with the zippy mouth) and presented him to the dentist. The dentist entered into the spirit of things and duly inspected Zippy's mouth.

Less amused that my waterproof coat seems to have developed a significant leak in the shoulders, which is unfortunate when riding a bicycle as you get rather wet. Or, VERY wet. I will be having a chat with Rohan about this issue.
