Diz and the wine list

Legoland Windsor, May 2013

Dizzy watching today. She scurries around the place, chittering and yodelling like some happy sounding Gremlin whilst I write this. This is my 'calm' day, away from dozen big kids, looking after one smaller one instead. Well, its calm in short three minute stretches, in between baby bumps and Diz screaming to be entertained. As it's a summery day today, any challenges sent my way will be only a minor obstacle. Mr Tumble is on the telly as we go about our doings ("A grown man shouldn't be a childrens' entertainer" claims my mother who regards him as some sort of child molester). Today we plan to hit the playground, I might get a workout and tidy up the house too. 

I feel like that Greek guy of myth who tries to push that boulder up the hill which keeps rolling back down again. For instance, I'll clear the living room table today, look away for a moment and the lego will be all over it once more. 48 hours and the sink will be full again and the dishwasher will have to be restarted (I'm the dishwasher by the way). We're the original Odd Couple here, just with me as Jack Lemmon with three Walter Matthaus for company!

In other news I plan to take drastic measures to get in shape. On our visit to Legoland the pizza proved just too seductive and I scarfed down a pile. Part of a depressing trend I'm afraid. Food used to be simply fuel during my single years but is now something much more of a pleasure and my middle is starting to betray the evidence. 

Will keep you posted with my plans.
