Eli is still ill – mainly congested today but I think his ear is still bothering him. So an otherwise good day can be summed up as:

• Southampton: Lex is away for the weekend with Nana and Oupa.
• Swimming: Tilly is doing really well, no worries about putting her head underwater – like Lex at this age she can swim as far as she can hold her breath.
• Arty Crafts: as Tilly’s treat activity whilst Lex is away we took her to buy some cheap art kits to use – she chose stickers, wooden spoon superheroes and a couple of other bits. After lunch she had a great time doing everything with R.
• Restaurant: Took Tilly out for lunch – she’s been nagging to go to this particular place for a while.
