Had my birthday lunch on Saturday at House with JGR, I was the first one to arrive but Rena and Gabriel soon came along. Whilst waiting for the other two (Jane had gone to PS Cafe!), we tried to figure out Gabriel's Transformer...those things are hard!
We ordered a chicken curry skinny pizza, and shared a risotto and 7-layer pancake as well as 'used' Gabriel to order 2 kids meals - fish and chips and vegetarian lasagna - their portions were still adult-sized!
Jane had just come from the gynae who told her to slow down her weight-gain. She actually finished a Swensen's Earthquake with 8 scoops of ice-cream by herself not long ago, ha ha! And she was nicely enjoying the food at House, finishing up the leftovers. Heh heh!
Germaine was kind enough to drop me off at UE Square after lunch, where Swana was waiting at Spizzico, paying the deposit for Gigi's birthday party. Service there is excellent I must say, they were fawning over her, offering a complimentary cheesecake and the chef gave her a vegetarian lasagna to bring home. Plus she and Kevin had a free food tasting session last week, which was what persuaded them to hold the event there in the first place.
It's changed a lot since the last time I went there - which was about 9 years ago! Had a significant dinner there with Nickypoo on 1 Dec 2000, followed by a walk along the river, finally ending up at Fullerton where he tried to hold my hand and the rest is history...
During bedtime on Saturday, Ma insisted on making Nat wear a nightie instead of her usual mismatched romper and pants for sleeping. My cheeky daughter fiddled with the sleeves and behaved most un-ladylike by climbing and swinging from her cot railing, watched by her loyal sidekick Gigi.
Nick worked all of Sunday and I realised it's hard to entertain Nat for a whole day! There's only so many toys you can play with and songs you can sing, she's still not allowed to watch TV. Gigi wasn't around to distract her and we didn't go out anywhere till evening but we survived. I need to research more activities to do when we're stuck at home alone!
Went to Nick's cousin Hannah's place in the evening. She was celebrating her baby's 1st month, he's called Zachary. Nat was fascinated with the newborn but clung to us like a koala the whole evening, she needs to get used to crowds.
The EPL season started this weekend and Liverpool lost their opening game to Spurs - not good!
