Baby Shower

After yet another tough cycling session on Monday, with the derny in use again, L has replicated at home the Exeter’s mega chip cob for me without ever seeing one. She’s a legend. 

Tuesday sees L running early with Daughter while I have dog training later with the Lad, who is not at his best. That's nothing usual obviously. 

On Wednesday I am out in Derby, in the Alexandra and then having a dodgy curry at Viceroy for £22 for three courses. On Thursday night we continue our re-watching of Strike with the Silkworm Part 2. 

Saturday’s Parkrun is at Clifton and then I am treated to my first ever baby shower hosted by Son and his wife. We head over to Coventry where there are sandwiches, pizza and plenty of cake but no coffee. These youngsters prefer fizzy drinks instead. It’s a very informal occasion with baby themed tasks and Jenga but no speeches or anything old fashioned like that. We are back in time for a night in the Plough, gazing into four gorgeous pints of Titanic Plum Porter as well as into the eyes of my beloved twosome, L and the Lad. 

On Sunday morning, it appears L had the stop watch on me and I don’t think she was impressed. She thinks that at my age I should be getting in with it but that’s the advantage of a relaxed weekend morning over a rushed weekday morning. We’re still at Colwick for the Sunday swim in plenty of time where we meet Daughter. Then I visit my Dad and take him to the New Inn as usual.
