Orange

A day of constant rain. What a change from yesterday.

As a result we were all cooped up indoors.

MrsClix was due to take the girls up to see Uncle John's baby chickens but the rain and the Olympics threw that plan out of the window.

I did DIY round the flat and then MrxClix had to jet off down south for work. The girls were insistent that she wave to them before getting in the taxi and they rushed to the window to wait. Pip though, saw her chance, and as soon as her big sister's back was turned used the opportunity to steal her place in front of the Raspberry Pi. Thus enthused much wailing from Toots. So much so that she completely missed her Mum getting into the taxi.

To calm things down I decided to walk them round to the shops to pick up some potatoes for dinner. As soon as we were in the Co-op Pip had grabbed an orange and refused to put it down. She then proceeded to eat it skin and all. By the time we got to the checkout the chap at the counter weighed it. Noted that it "was a bit below weight" but Pip withstood the shame and snatched it back out of his hand as soon as it was proffered back to her.

You would think we don't feed the girls.

As soon as we were back home Toots started asking when we were going to see Uncle John's baby chickens.

"When your Mummy gets back. Only she knows the way there."

Phew. Daddy saved. Not sure MrsClix will see it that way when she gets back.
