Wow, finally calmed down today, Friday Tim and I went to a garden show, now don't laugh, he who hated gardening went to a show. It was beautiful weather and we had a picnic in the sunshine, really nice to have a grown up day out without Caitlin. Found ourselves some herbs, a clematis and rather pretty red leaved acer amongst others.
Saturday's plans went a bit pear shaped when we woke up to find Jess ill, tthose who've had the delight of meeting our burmese cat will know, she's vocal and demanding especially first thing in the morning when she wants breakfast, you can't move in the kitchen for fear of tripping over the cat winding round your legs until you feed her. Well she didn't make any noise and wouldn't get off the sofa, which got us a little worry, so got a piece of salmon out the fridge and she turned her nose up at that, so I called the vets, who managed to fit her in that morning, but it meant rather than all three of us going to the gluten-free food fair, Caitlin and I went while Tim went to vets with Jess. Jess had tonsilitis, so has got some antibiotics and seems back to normal, but she goes back for check up on friday.
Took Caitlin on the train to York, she was as good as gold on 'my train' and charmed everyone round the food fair. She loved being able to go from stall to stall just trying everything, so often if we're out we have to say no. I got my first battered fish in 8 years at the gluten-free fish demo, very yummy it was too! Caitlin had a banana fritter, we came back with several loaves of free bread, some nice goodies to try like pork pies and ice cream cones and a whole heap of leaflets on gluten-free stuff we can get on prescription, very worthwhile day out. Was so nice for Caitlin and I to feel normal for once, not the odd ones out.
We came back with so much bread that Tim made a bread and butter pudding for dinner on Sunday, it was gorgeous, Caitlin seemed to enjoy it too, so think that may become regular on the weekends menu.
On sunday we were also sorting through Caitlin's clothes and baby toys, sorting some bits and pieces for nearly new sale. Was doing really well until we found her cot mobile and I got all sentimental and had to keep it. But I did manage to parcel up a lot of her baby stuff, even if we only make a bit of money, we'll have it for our camping holiday in June a week away together, should be great fun, looking forward to seeing how Tim and Caitlin adapt, could be interesting.
