Ben and John

I only took a couple of pictures from the Saturday afternoon and evening I spent, off the wagon, with Stephen, Mark, Chloe, Ben and John - celebrating Mark's 35th birthday. But it was fantastic to finally meet Master Stoneham and to see what wonderful parents Chloe and Ben are.

Arielle's Birthday Party

Gymnastics

So this weekend we entertained Christophe Zimmer on Friday night and on Saturday morning Ruby had her first Gymnastics class! She's been super excited about this for weeks and been telling everyone about it. Lucas and I had a swim, while Ruby and Ibolya did the gymnastics thing. We all then went to City Academy for Lucas's ballet class, which he refused to do this week and for Ruby's first drama class. After lunch and homework, we went to Little Wormwood Scrubs. Ruby played in the adventure playground while Lucas had a major tired tantrum, walking round the perimeter. Ibolya made an Ottolenghi dinner and after R&L had gone to bed, we watched 2 magnificent episodes of The Bridge 2. On Sunday morning, we used Granny's Christmas treat money to take R&L to see the Gruffalo at the Lyric theatre followed by lunch in Chinatown. We had a relaxed afternoon on the sofas at home - Ruby made a city landscape, we had Toad in the Hole for diner and I, just about, managed to keep awake for the last episode of Sherlock. My track of the weekend was Mesmerise by Temples
