Because the handin date for the first draft of my dissertation is looming ever closer, I decided that today would be a good day to take a friends little girl out for a while. So me, another friend of mine (J) and 8 month old A went to Leeds for a day of geeky shopping and giving mummy a break. It was fantastic!
A was an angel - she didn't fuss, or cry very much at all - just when I put her in the buggy, and she squaked in frustration a bit when I kept moving sharp or hot things out of her reach. She spent about an hour in a cafe with us, sitting up in a highchair and eating bits of cucumber and some sort of mushed up carrot thing whilst we ate chinese buffet and tried to keep her from grabbing it off our plates. It was just a fantastic day.
Plus, I brought the new Angel comic and got to read it on the train on the way back as J was holding the baby - there were two plot twists that I did not expect, and one (the main one) that I wasn't that fussed with. But two deeply cool characters are back! I also got some cushion pads and will have to start to make stuff to sell at a craft fair I'm doing next wednesday.
It seems that everything else is so much more fun than writing my dissertation. Of which the end is in sight - I'm 800 words into chapter 4 which is meant to be my last chapter - my word count for this chapter is 3000 so it's getting there!
Oh, and I also brought fair trade cheese.
