Day 58 27/08/2011 On the beach

We went out today and sat in the car outside the house, we couldn't decide where to go. It's always a good idea to get out of the house on a Saturday whether it's into town or out to Ikea or a country park or whatever. We haven't actually been to ikea with baby Michael yet but we'll probably go soon. We decided in the end to go to town again. Might not be real variety but it's O.K.
So we went to the Victoria Shopping Centre, round the pound shop and to a 'Greasy Spoon'. Rocio and I had a big plates full of chips and fried eggs and mugs of tea and toasted tea cakes. All for less than our posh coffee and danish pastry usually costs us at one of the coffee chains.
Afterwards we went to Boots to buy a breast pump. If this strange device works Rocio will be able to express milk and leave it for me to feed Michael some times. That would be wondeful.
Whilst there we saw an advert for a Punch and Judy show in the market square so we strolled over there. We must have missed the show as we never saw any sign of it but there is still the 'beach' in the square. 300 tonnnes of sand dumped in the square with deck chairs on it and ice cream sellers and some fair ground rides etc. We sat for a long while on the chairs and Michael was very happy watching everything happening around.






It really was nice there in the sunshine, Rocio making sand castles and watching the children run in and out of the fountain as if it were the sea. Here is Rocio's sand Chosa




Then off to Weatherspoons for Rocio's two halves of Guiness and back home.
All in all a lovely time in town, very relaxed and Michael in a really good mood. More and more Michael likes to play and look around him and every day he spends more time awake but not feeding. Life is getting better and better.
