Long weekend

After an absolute down pour and a measly 7 degrees yesterday, today has been a bit better with 18 degrees. I was meant to go to the Cambridge Beer Festival on Friday, but the thought of freezing in a tent was too much so I met Mark and Vera in The Green Man pub and we had some nice food and a relaxed end to an eventful week.

Today has been full of chores but we managed a trip to the Gog Magog Farm Shop for coffee, scones and a visit to the animals.

Speech wise Vera is developing fast. When you ask her "Var ar pappa" (where's dada) she replies "There he is". When you ask her to get a book, she comes running, triumphantly "I found it! I found it!"
She calls flowers "blomma" interchangeably, so I'm hoping she picks up a few Swedish words!
She calls airplanes "hair planes" and exclaimes "ninished" when she has finished any meal.
Vera's really got into "nanas" (banans) of late and apart from that she's got a sweet tooth and loves chocolate. Smarties are a real treat (at weekends only).
