I have been getting a tad grumpy and upsetting Alice, who is also a bit tired and sensitive. Mabel is now fully active, mobile and as Alice says “full on”.

We have realised that we have only had two occasions where we have been out together since Mabel has been born so we went out for a few drinks and meal last night. Lola babysat.

Quick drink at The Cock, food at the Blue Olive and grown up drinks at Baroosh and The Star.

The Blue Olive is a new restaurant, Turkish food. We had a messe to start, cold and hot, freshly made and delicious. Then a main course which filled us up completely. With wine £50; great service and value.

Speciality G&T at Baroosh, naughty last drink with mostly students in The Swan and home. Much needed break from our wonderful baby, but of course she was our main source of conversation….that’s how it goes.
