Its been a fairly more than usual whirlwind of a week. For someone who has rarely travelled in the UK in the many years here, I got an opportunity to explore some new sports. On Wednesday I was in Coventry and realized that the ‘Cathedral’ was actually a ruin. On Tuesday I was fortunate to visit the ‘Regent’ in Hove for some traditional fish and chips. Today I went to Leeds, visited the Armoury and wandered the city centre.
Now, finally, I can concentrate on the task of getting ready for baby. Laci has gone to my friend Mariela’s so I can de-hair everything, move the Moses basket into my bedroom and put the bedding on it. I have already started stocking my changing table/dresser – but it needs a bit more work. I need to figure out where I will put my baby bath and various other stuff in the bathroom as it’s a bit of a tight fit. I need to buy formula.
I am already pretty much packed for the baby but I have to packs for myself and decide whether I still need to buy anything. There is also some other ‘nice to haves’ like writing some Christmas Cards, perhaps meeting with my client so we can revamp my proposal now that I have met the end users as well as possibly doing a big shopping and cooking so I am stocked with good food when I get home.
However what I really need to do is find out whether I should leave in the next day or so I can get the opportunity to meet M and get to know her a bit. I am really curious her and hope that we bond in person as much as we have over the phone and email!
