Monday. I've mastered getting Penny to sleep now, which will come in handy when Melissa goes back to work. I was "the man" last night. Penny slept most of the way through, but woke at about 6:15am and chunnered relentlessly to her teddies until I got her up and plonked her in with Melissa.
Then I marched to work.
I was pretty busy this morning but not so much this afternoon. I went for a walk with Helen at lunchtime and met Melissa, her mum and Penny, and Emma and Harry. I had snuggles with a very chocolatey Penny and walked back to work, clasping my free large coffee from Gregg's the baker.
After work I met Melissa, her mum and Penny and at (the) ASDA. I sent them exclusively for Cheese Strings. Melissa's mum said to Melissa "Penny can't have them". Melissa said "Oh they're for Martyn, along with these PomBear crisps". They're delicious. Judge not, lest ye be judged.
We got home and I fed Penny. She's been talking absolute shit today. At one point I'm sure she said "dwr budr", which is Welsh for drinking water. But, it's probably just coincidence. She likes singing Old Macdonald in the the bath, but never get's to "o". She's very good at the "e - i" bit though. There were moments it looked and sounded like she was having a deep and meaningful conversation with a smushed up potato waffle. She probably wasn't though. She also managed to sit herself up in her bed all by herself this morning. I may have to lower the bed this weekend. My poor back.
This evening Melissa's catching up on TV while I sit in my office listening to music. I might start a book. But I probably won't.
See you tomorrow. Hold tight, only four days until the weekend!
