Not that it was especially different from how we spend Saturdays but here in
Melb the sun shone and P had a nap (1 1/2 hs - very unusual on a weekend!)
so we spent plenty of time in the neglected garden pruning, weeding and
mowing. It's looking better already. Will be hiring a skip for next weekend
if the weather allows.

P was a lot better but very temperamental and had two tantrums when we were
at Airport West shops this morning. Most unusual for her. She started eating
more this afternoon when I let her keep grazing (olives, salami, cheese
spread on biscuits, rice crackers, cherry tomatoes, saltanas, yoghurt,
custard) so might do more of the same tomorrow. Childcare will be in despair
of all her bad habits when she goes back!

Thanks for all the support and encouragement over the last week. Apart from
here I felt rather alone at times, although it was a bit of a quiet week
posts wise, wasn't it?
