...Today's been a hot one, and, for once, I was glad of the opportunity to be constantly drooled on by Mu, who knew the toothless gums of an infant could be like water in a parched land...
Spent most of the day suspended in the pushchair, the reasons for this several-fold;
1) Need to be in constant reach of Mu while she she is being couriered hither and thither by Mam...
2) The pushchair seemingly only has 2 speeds - break neck & breaking...
3) Haven't quite mastered the art of staying in the pushchair as we negotiate left & right handed turns, kurbs and dog poo...
4) Haven't a clue where we were going...
Also have very patchy sun burn due to Mam's slap-dash approach to 'creaming up' before letting Mu see the sun. Pending her gaining control of the 200ml bottle of Simple Sun Cream for Kids, t'would seem only way to ensure Mu's TOTAL and COMPLETE coverage from the sun rays is by coating anything within a 3 metre radius in Factor 50. Apparently Mu wearing a long dress, sun hat and being placed in the shade for the duration of her time outside wasn't enough in itself. Still, no such thing as a 'healthy tan'.
Not saying my decision to leave an entire kingdom in the hands of adolescents while I experienced some 'real life' was wrong, just saying life was drier and less confusing in a land that was always winter...
