Life

Σσ and I took Monday off (to stop us from completely breaking). It was a beautiful autumn day and we went on a long stroll around the heath, followed by a voucher-subsidised lunch at the Bull & Last (thanks Si & Lou).

Αα sounds like a wounded seal her cough is so bad. Croup fits the description. This has definitely had me in a mild panic given that that was the first news we had about Aila’s symptoms. Αα doesn’t seem too upset about it most of the time, it’s just a total fucker when it comes to her (and of course by extension, our) sleep. I feel like it’s maybe getting better the last night or two (although that could well just be wishful thinking).

We had our architect and a potential builder over to the flat on Friday and the builder seemed much less pessimistic about his ability to get everything we’d want done than the architect has been to date. That said, we haven’t told him our budget (and he didn’t want any sugar in his tea, so I’m not convinced he’s a real builder). Feels one step closer to actually happening though, which is almost exciting.

I took the kids to a newly opened next-level soft play. I think it was a bit much for Αα, but Ηη (and his other pals) loved it. I hated pretty much every second, but it’s looking like I’ll have to make my peace with it.
