We managed to get back to Black Park again already, yesterday. It was a beautiful day. We saw ducklings and ate ice cream. The park was being used as a location for a film, so there were people working everywhere and we walked past the set. (I suspected they weren’t filming [...]
So, we thought Ruislip Lido was good, but then came BLACK P A R K!
It’s much closer to home, about 5 minutes in the car, and it’s just much better than Ruislip Lido. I’ll let the pictures speak for themselves, but first of all, a new theme: “Parting shots of Uxbridge”. I’m going [...]
I saw a consultant today, who pretty much told me the same things as the previous consultant I saw. He asked me to decide whether I wanted to go ahead with the ablation or not. I told him I didn’t want to at this time. Most of the risks with the operation [...]
Ollie’s birthday was spread over 3 days, which he really enjoyed. I will merely post the photos for now.

David has pointed out on many an occasion that my knowledge of the US is appalling! I’ve been inspired lately by the whole “Games With a Purpose” (thanks, Dad). Look the up on wikipedia. Anyway in a roundabout way I found this, states quiz and plan to be perfect before we go.
[...]As it’s the Easter holidays, Thomas is now desperately missing his friends, particularly his girlfriend. He is totally “in love” with this girl! He talks about her all the time, even about what clothes she wore to playgroup!? He was invited to her birthday lunch and received a home-made thank-you-for-my-present card. [...]
In a bizarre twist of fate, we ended up going to Ruislip Lido again, almost exactly a year since we last went. I know because I remember Ollie was just “cruising” (walking-holdin-onto-things) but not walking unassisted, so it must have been around his 1st birthday.
Anyhoo, we had a lovely day, and my mum came [...]
