We were meant to have gone away for the weekend, but instead had a lovely domesticated one, with a water leak thrown in. No not in the house, but rather in the street so engineers from Cambridge Water were randomly digging large holes in the street for 36 hours solid until they finally stopped at 5am this morning. No doubt the Victorian pipes playing up again.
We've had a lovely one though, with some of my favourite pastimes, family, cooking, baking, film, walks, music etc.
Mark has been doing a bit of DIY while I've been holding fort in the kitchen, including defrosting the freezer.
Today it's been colder, around zero, so Vera and I wrapped up warm and walked to the play ground, the swings were less interesting today, instead it was up and done the slide, umpteen times. She's fearless and would happily go head first if you weren't there to stop her.
We said hello to some of the local horses on the way back and once home had some fika with apple muffins followed by some dancing to warm up. Vera seem to be rather taken by One Direction and Olly Murs, along with millions other girls.
She's recently started to walk up to us with her armes stretched up, saying "cuddles", "cuddles" with increasing volume until you lift her up.
We also measured her height on Saturday, and she's 86 cm, on the 90th+ percentile, so quite tall for her age I believe
Speech wise (in English) she says "copter" (helicopter), "pasta", "milk", "elephant", "hot", "cold" and many more. She knows most of her animals although what she says sometimes needs deciphering. Horses for example tend to be "neeeeigh" or "clop-eti-clop"

Outside the bedrooom window at midnight, luckily they're all gone now.
Vera dancing and refreshing with some water.
