pancake day!

and could I find a recipe? Oh yes, for Canadian buttermilk pancakes, or blinis, or all sorts of thing *except* nice, ordinary, pancakes. Grr…

but we got there in the end.

Other things today – went to breastfeeding group at the local surestart centre – had a long chat with one of the midwives about how to shift ds’s sleep patterns, so from today, making lunch into his main meal. Worth a shot anyway. Dd got to play in their soft play bit and with the home corner, and in the sensory room, so I think she more or less enjoyed it. popped into Lidl on the way home and they had a half price sale on fresh fruit and veg, so now I’ve got a fridge full of healthy food. Good stuff.

got home to messages from the bank (got a financial review tomorrow) and the health visitor (can I call next Wednesday – guess I’m not an urgent case then) and we did pancakes.

That’s about it really.
