Luke has been sleeping really badly - culminating in last night, where I was up every half an hour until 4am with him, while Nik was waking up everytime she did, so neither of us got much that resembled sleep... I certainly got less than an hour (between 4 and 5am). We're a little worried that he's a bit ill, so we'll be keeping an eye on what he's like and how he behaves over the weekend and working out whether a trip to the doctors is in order (hopefully not the one who had a go at him for peeing when she took his nappy off...)
It's a major reason in my lack of updates - and its not like there's nothing to say - we have an allotment now, and the first plants have gone in already, so we're very proud and rather excited!
The wonderful Stokke Xplory broke spectacularly last week with a mysterious fault - one of the back legs lost a screw and split open all the way down, and stopped the breaks working. Not sure how this happened - we don't even use it that much, and certainly don't do anything unusual or particularly wearing to it.
Seeing as its meant to be suitable from birth - 4 years, it's not very encouraging that so much can go wrong in the first 10 months of use... [the leg break isn't the only problem we've had - the parasol broke off when Luke gave it a tug (he managed to shear the metal, so either he's a lot stronger than anyone we know or there was a fault with it), the rubber coating on the inside of the rain hood is flaking off, and the dye in the material started to run, destroying some of his clothes - we're open-minded people, but a boy in a pink shirt isn't a good look. It looks terrible on men, let alone babies...]
I'm also moving posts in the division - from being responsible for Creative Industries, I'll be responsible for Arts policy from the 18 September (when I come back from holiday), which is exciting!
I'll come back over the weekend and give the allotment story!
