Plenty of excitement and nervous energy in the house of DDWT today, as Mrs DDWT went for her first baby scan at Morriston hospital. Even though this is our 2nd baby, it is still an amazing experience seeing our wonderful little creation moving its tiny arms and legs about – almost as if in protest against the momentary intrusion.
We were amazed how clear the scan actually was, especially when we recalled how DDWT Junior was during his first scan. It’s such a shame really that now they only produce photographic scans to buy for the 20 week scan – as it would have been a real treat to see today’s scan in print.
Most importantly however, everything seemed in order and we feel happy that we’ve been able ‘see’ our wonderful creation for the first time. It’s a relief to actually now have something almost tangeable – if you see what I mean.
It’s also perhaps somewhat iconic that the baby’s scheduled due date is June 10th 2008 – our wedding anniversary!!
Calling all cyclists – don’t forget to vote for Sustrans’ Connect2 in the People’s £50 Million Lottery Giveaway.
Connect2 is a UK-wide project that aims to improve local travel in 79 communities by creating new walking and cycling routes for those everyday journeys. In terms of south west Wales, this would mean valuable funding for improving the cycle link at Afon Tawe bridge, Clydach and Gowerton, Penclawdd and Crofty. There are many similar projects throughout Wales.
So PLEASE vote now and help improve the already amazing cycle paths and routes in Wales.
I had a pleasant surprise today to see that this very blog had been given a mention on the British Heart Foundation blog – as a result of my ramblings about the Swansea Santa jog.
You can read the article for yourself here, but better still why not take part in one of the many BHF events and raise some money for a worthy cause.
I’m glad to report that DDWT Junior returned to school today and although he’s not back to his normal 100% self – he asked to go himself! It does seem however that lots of his classmates are suffering with similar illnesses as the class number has dwindled to less than 10 this week.
We took the opportunity this morning to see how tall the little fella is now as well – partly because he also seems to be displayed the classic symptoms of growing pains. Anyway he now stands at 107.5 cm or 3ft 6′ – which seems to me to be quite tall for someone who is 46 months old. But what do I know.
We are top of the league say we are top of the league! A 1 nil win for the Swans tonight against a useful monkey hangers outfit – but in all honesty we rode our luck (‘pools hit the crossbar twice) and were lucky to get the 3 points in the end. So Angel Rangel take a bow son, your goal was a cracker!
Whilst I’ll savour the moment of being top of the table, it doesn’t disguise the fact that once again we struggled to break down a well organised and physical team. It was without a doubt a frustrating night with only glimpses of the free-flowing passing game the Swans can play. I still can’t get my head around the 4-5-1 formation either, especially at home.
I won’t bother commenting much about the game itself – I’ll let you read the media reports for that, but here are a few choice comments about all and sundry:
1. I still can’t figure out why a 5o odd year old man – a complete stranger I hasten to add – wanted to show me his adult porn collection on his mobile phone pre-match?!!?!?
2. Andy Robinson is unfit, lazy and even uninterested. January transfer window anyone?
3. Dorus, Chuckles, Painter, Anderson and Bodde were the stars this evening.
4. Jason Scotland is NOT a target man, please don’t try to make him one.
5. The boo-boys have seemingly left the asbo east stand – thankfully.
So roll on Friday and the luxury of seeing the Swans live on Sky Sports against Horsham in the FA Cup 2nd Round.
Earlier in the day, I was invited out to lunch with my old working buddies from work to celebrate a birthday. The venue was the Anarkali in St. Helen’s road, which is rumoured to be the first tandoori restaurant in South West Wales since 1978! Well however long it’s been there, its reputation seems well earned as the food was delicious.
Despite arriving before the chef and having to wait nigh on 30 odd minutes for food – after munching some delicious poppadoms – it was well worth it. My chicken korma, chips and keema nan were spot on and all for the bargain price of about £9. I will definitely be going back there sometime soon!
If you want to do some online shopping at the Early Learning Centre or ELC as it’s known – then I’m sure the 20% discount code below will come in very handy indeed!
Simply enter the code BC1207 at the checkout when shopping at www.elc.co.uk and you’ll get 20% off. Please note that the discount code expires on December 31st 2007.
With discounts already being offered on hundres of toys at ELC, you’re sure to pick up some bargains just in time for Christmas (or like me for a birthday early in the new year!).
