Tennis fever

Image
By Lucky
Because of the tennis last night my nails are a little shorter and holding-my-breath practise a little better... Centre Court finally got to use their roof and test their flood lights (the game finished after 22:30) and we got to watch some awesome tennis.

After the match I was tempted to watch a little Big Brother, but luckily on my way, flicking through, I came across the movie Wimbledon - a great feel good about dinosaurs! Just kidding, obviously it's about tennis.

How ideal, I can satiate myself with all sorts of tennis from my 3rd floor room! I have a feeling that this movie is joining my Love Actually and Pride & Prejudice list. Paul Bettany and Kirsten Dunst are the stars here:

For the girls he's quite nice to look at, for the boys, well I can't tell how you feel about K.D., but I did discover in this movie (even though I do love it, still) that she has very tiny teeth!

Anyway, if you want to get involved in the whole tennis fever, but don't really like watching live tennis, then this is the movie for you. It's also great for people who do like tennis, and movies...

Digging a hole here - it was great planning by ITV to have this movie showing after such a great match (I'm sure they planned that too!)

Enjoy,



Lucky

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
