Today we met up with the antenatal people to go for a nice walk and a picnic. The weather had been perking up, so it seemed ideal. Unfortunately we didn't bargain for 26C heat and no shade.
I'd got the train to Rugby, where we were being picked up to get to the resevoir. I realised in the morning it was going to be too hot for Orn to spend the day in the car seat, so off we toddled to the train station with Orna in her car seat, the pram seat lashed to the back of that, changing bag, coolbag with my lunch and her milk and the UV tent. We got there and our train was 5 mins late, not too bad, but then it turned out that someone had jumped onto the tracks and there would be no trains going north or south. A Virgin train stuck at the station had to turn back, but would only be stopping at Watford and London, but fortunately for us they changed their minds and it also did Rugby and Milton Keynes so away we went.
The walk would have been lovely if there had been a bit more of a breeze, as it was it was a tad toasty. It also took longer than we expected, and it turns out I can walk around while expressing...I was also savaged by a horsefly, but Orn was safe from both the sun and marauding beasts in her UV cover.
We got the train back, and Daddy collected us from the station. Orn and I went for much needed showers, then we went out to the crayfish party at Ikea (or Orna's second home as it's turning out to be). Yum!

A picnic in the park
Today we met Orna's boyfriends (and their Mums) at Coombe Abbey for a walk and a picnic. We saw lots of squirrels (which Mummy liked), and Orna seemed to enjoy gawping at the trees and things. We then sat down for lunch and it all went a bit pear shaped, she screamed and screamed and wouldn't calm down, eventually putting her in the pushchair and moving her back and forth got to sleep. All was well, I finished my lunch and then she woke up and it happened again. She launched herself at my finger and chewed like billy-o, so I think her teeth were bothering her again. 25ml of galpamol and she settled beautifully.
In the evening, we went out to Taybarn's (classy!) for Daddy's Birthday (having been unable to go out on his actual Birthday as we were testing out the washing machine). We planned to go to Nando's but there was a huge wait for a table, something we can't really do with a baby in tow.
