Compulsory Pride face glitter selfie!
Girls' weekend in Brighton. Champagne, cocktails and carousels, an early(ish) morning swim, the Pride parade, a mooch around the shops, sitting in the sunny courtyard garden, bleary pyjama-clad pastry eating round the kitchen table, getting all dressed up to go and eat delicious Italian food and listen to drag queens doing karaoke. Spending time with some of my favourite humans in the world.
We had lunch @pizzaexpress on Saturday, and my 6yo was very taken with the competition on the Piccolo menu to compose some Christmas song lyrics. She has come home and given it a lot of thought, before coming up with this (to be sung to the tune of Jingle Bells). The prize is a family meal at Pizza Express, and she is very excited about winning it and getting to take us all out for dinner. Not winning hasn't really occurred to her as a possibility...
Happy 1st of December! (I hope I haven't set the bar so the children expect a novelty breakfast every morning of Advent...)
Inset day for the 6yo, so we have headed to Wonder Lab at @the.science.museum which is one of our favourite trips together. Exploring resistance, bridge-building, tesselating patterns and centripetal force.
This is what getting ready to go and see Nanna and Grandad for half term looks like in 2021!
