Hooray for pancakes!

Proud RichAh – pancake day – you’ve been well missed!

To help me develop a decent appetite for the long awaited pancakes I dashed off to my yoga class this evening and was made to hold all kinds of new and unusual positions (most of which made me feel as though some part of me was about to snap). I’m not sure if the benefit of doing a yoga class then gets outweighed by eating pancakes – but it had to be done.

Rich and I took turns to make our own pancakes, however Rich did not do his the proper way and flipped his with the help of a spatular. Consequently all of his pancakes turned out perfectly and in one piece, while mine were equally tasty but not at all photogenic. Just look at Rich here gazing in admiration at one of his pancakes – huh! I think I had more fun making mine even though I’m now going to have to go and clean the hob…

Happy pancake day everyone – may all your pancakes be fluffy and light!

Sam’s weigh in

Talkative SamSam is happy to be able to inform you that he now weighs an impressive 5.37kg (11lb 13 oz).

Fidget update:

Rich and I have been pretty worried about Fidget recently – last week she seemed to be twisted with her head tilted to one side and she fell over a lot. Because of being snowed in we didn’t take her to the vet and she seemed to recover on her own. However, on Monday night Rich saw Fidget having some sort of fit so on Tuesday we both took her to the vets expecting to hear the worst. Thankfully the vet seems to think that Fidget has an inner ear infection which is hopefully going to clear up after a week of antibiotics (if only she would drink it – naughty hamster!)

In other news I tried another yoga class last night and found it to be much better than the one I went to a couple of weeks ago. Hopefully after a few months of yoga I’ll be in much better shape and maybe even be able to squeeze myself into my old clothes again!

Sam’s weigh in

Bouncy SamSam’s latest weigh in results are just in and I’m happy to tell all you eager readers that Sam has reached a total weight of  5.7kg (11lb 3oz).

Yesterday Sam and I wandered round to visit a local friend for lunch. Being a lady of leisure is starting to have some advantages – I think I quite like being able to meet up with a friend to eat some very tasty chinese chicken followed up with a slice of rich chocolate cake. Sam was very well behaved and cooed happily while us ladies chatted away and after being much admired he had a quick nap on a bean bag. More trips out like this would be fantastic – anyone interested in inviting us round?

In the evening I tried out a new yoga class but unfortunately was a little disappointed by the style (a bit more mystical than I’m comfortable with) and found the teacher to be slightly useless. Hopefully I’ll find a decent class that I can join soon as I really need to start getting back in shape as I’m so tired of wearing maternity clothes and at some point in May I need to fit into a dress again…
