29 April, Thursday: Oh no, I’ve really enraged the weather gods. It’s winter again. I want SUN!!!!! Kev said we’re supposed to have a great weekend. I hope he’s not just being sadistic and getting my hopes up.

Stayed with my healthy eating plan for two days now. Am feeling like a …well, like a person who’s been on a healthy eating plan for two days.

There are lots of families here with four and five small children. It surprises me when I see the mum and dad walking down the street, pushing prams and pulling toddlers. The baby boom is alive and well here…guess that’s what they mean by “there’ll always be an England.”

All the baby strollers have huge plastic see-through covers because it rains so much. Every time I see one I wonder how the kid can breathe. (Okay, before anyone tries to explain that to me, yes I really do know how they can breathe, but it looks like they shouldn’t be able to.)
