Saturday 7 June 2008





We had a lie-in today until 1030h which was good. I still had my bath at 0600h, this time in a spot of Dettol. Not too much as I am told it will do me some harm, all this soaking in disinfectant.

It is a rather blustery day today and a lot cooler than of late. We do not have much planned so will do very little. A trip in to town is the highlight of our day, poking about in a few charity shops and kiddies clothes shops. There seems to be a huge amount of kids shops but their prices are quite high, with a lot of the stuff being used by the look of it. At least we pay them a visit.

The sea is rather grey looking although I can see across to Torquay where the balloon is flight. I need to go and get some tickets later.

Once back home Heidi is more settled and we sort out a toy box for her. We bought a red crate on wheels in Torquay the other day which will hold the bulk of them, with a surplus going to Gran and Grampy on the Moor, and some other going to Grandma and Grandad here.

We have a lot of Fred’s toys which are all a good as new, so they make an entrance. They have been stowed away since he went, so it very difficult to see them coming out in the light again. Many of these were faithful companions of his, having travelled to and from the numerous theatre visits he had to make. Heidi will look after them now. Some are a bit boyish, but well entertain her all the same. Winnie the Pooh, Tigger, Mr Crackles, the Bear, to name but a few. His Feet Finders surface too, and these were just starting to get used.

She continues to demand food when you think she does not need any more. “Heidi Snacks” akin to Scooby Snacks placate her for a while but we need to check with the health visitor/midwife as to whether you can overfeed an infant. We were told not to worry it will sick it up, but you just wonder how much these things can consume? I guess it is better than not eating at all.

Meanwhile the thunder rumbles overhead, and the rain wets the washing on the line, and we are all shut up inside, nice and warm. Just the three of us.
