Life lately…bits and pieces from May

Do you ever half start writing a post in your head but before you can get to the computer (or should that be “umpewter” as Pip calls it) the post has vanished? I’ve been trying to catch up here with some of the things we’ve been up to recently, but, suddenly it’s nearly June and summer has started and there are a million things to do with living actual life that means very few of them seem to ever make it to the blog. (you can follow me on Instagram if you do like to keep relatively up to date btw).

Anyway, Pip and I managed to go to the opening of KuPP in Paddington a few weeks ago. We (I) like all things scandinavian related, and we also particularly like going out for breakfast. I’ve been trying to take a few random days holiday to spend with her, so we went to KuPP for a quick re-fuel by the boats before heading to the station to get a train to see a friend. The coffee was great, the decor was one of my favourite colours, the staff were lovely and they served pancakes. What’s not to like!?

    

Other things we’ve been doing recently have included a trip to Cornwall, balancing lots of work with a spate of toddler illness and I’ve even managed to read a couple of books on my kindle on the commute. Presently, I’m attempting to (re)read To Kill a Mockingbird – I was convinced I’d read it, but I don’t think I can have done. English degree? Hah. I’ve been trying to follow along with the chapters suggested, but #sorrynotsorry I went away on a hen party and haven’t caught up. Find out more on the Twitter feed or search #TKAM.

I’ve also managed to start a mammoth declutter and have some thoughts on how getting agitated about how and what you feed your child is such a privileged middle class first world problem that we need to get a sense of perspective and stop being so effing smug. Maybe I’ll be back again in a few months to share 🙂
