The Kings Head in Piccadilalilly

By Lucky
After Meebs first pint at The Puzzle we (London travellers) climbed on the tube and took a ride through to Green Park & Piccadilallilly (also known as Piccadilly to some!)

Pubbing in the UK is a serious sport, and there is only one word to describe the pubs - overflowing. People pour out from the pub, onto the streets. So ladies if you fancy a suited man, head to your nearest central London pub after work - almost any day is good enough, we went on a Thursday and it could have been a Friday in Cape Town for all we knew!

These suited men tell us that they are professionals. Professionals who either require Dutch courage to banter in the boardroom or, and I suspect this is more likely, they feel that client billing continues if you think about discussing the client at the pub - actual discussion not necessary!

But I'm being mean! We went to see Ben & Bush and we had loads of fun!


Lucky, Ben & Ameba
Ameba: we stood outside on the pavement to have a ciggie - or did we?

 Ben & Alicia: whose crazy?

Meebs, Nats, Bush, Ben & Alicia

After a while Meebs & I got down to the business of suit spotting...

We were trying to use undercover tactics - such as fake focusing the camera on our drink (as can somewhat be seen in the foreground). This didn't always work so well!

Bush wasn't so sure about this, but he played along anyway.

We found a suit (actually a few of them) who were prepared to play our games... drinking games. Seeing as how we've just come from SA, we felt our constitutions would still posses their African strength! They did. The poms played. The poms lost - sorry boys, maybe you'll have more luck next time:)

When the suits fled home in their taxi's Meebs and I celebrated a well earned victory...

The end of a good night!
Thanks kids, lets do it again!

PS. yes we're using sepia...

    Just to say thanks to the boys :) It was awsome to meet up with you in foggy LT!

    Ben, glad that you had an evening off and let me now when you've got another eve free for a pint or three :)
    Bush, I hope that you were pleasantly surprised! Same goes for you, a proper catch up would be awsome!

    Sorry to the two/three suits that thought they could handle their liquor better than us...I bloody love Zambuca :)

    Anywho, Thanks again all for an awesome eve :)

Marking milestones

By Lucky
When Bug was born, well a month or so after, I bought some cards to mark her milestones. Who knew that I should have bought them when I was preggo? So we missed a few photos… But now I find myself attempting to dressing her up for her milestones, only for her to accessorise them with accoutrements such as vomit! Then I jump around, cajoling her into smiling, while hopefully the camera is in focus and I actually press the snap button.  Those photos are all well and good. But I want some real-life photos and babies aren’t renown for their on-cue performances! So how do you actually get that photo of her first tooth?!?  That’s one of the current milestones we’re trying to mark. And she’s not particularly given to opening her mouth wide, unless it’s to cry loudly! I may not be parent of the year, but I’m not about to start taking photos of her mouth while she cries! So, it’ll just have to wait until she smiles for a prolonged period, while I conveniently have the camera to hand! Case in po

4 month sleep regression

By Lucky
I write to you from Hell… just kidding, I’m on the foot stool next to Bug’s bed. Not talking, not touching, just sitting while she lies with her head facing the other way. And every few minutes gives an attempt at a cry.  But at least she’s in her bed! She’s completely refused all naps in her bed so far this week. So this is a major win! I’m talking champagne, the I proper stuff… or at least a really large glass of whatever is open in the fridge.  Now bedtime is the stuff nightmares are made from! Bedtime used to be a pleasant routine, now it’s a panic-inducing labour. I’m pretty sure my blood pressure is through the roof, climbing from approximately 18:00, in anticipation of the dreaded sleep attempts! Last night was an early 22:00ish before she was down. The night before, midnight. And over the weekend, one night her refusals were so adamant that I got a sum total of zero hours sleep. By midnight it was clear the only way she’d sleep was in my arms. So Bug and I got the big bed. She

One good thing about social distancing…

By Lucky
Is that nobody comes too close and I can get away with only half brushing my teeth (no toothpaste, had Bug in my arms and wouldn’t have been able to rinse). And not wearing deodorant (again, the baby!) Also, still wearing some of my pyjamas, semi-disguised  as day clothes… But nobody can really tell cause they can’t get too close! Win! On top of that we had a very successful walk. The dog mostly listened and was easily distracted by treats. Bug slept the whole time and was seemingly nose-blind. And my back pocket doubled up as my coffee cup holder! Hands-free, here we come!  Oh, and because we were out walking for so long - two hours, until it was time for the next feed - the dog is exhausted! He hasn’t been this tired since his play date with best friend Amber! Lucky x
