Emily was not well overnight. She had a very high temperature after KSpace and was really subdued. She even fell asleep on my chest when we got home, first time having an afternoon nap for a month or more. During the night she woke several times and we eventually administered some Calpol. Though she woke seeming more or less recovered, lunch with Nick didn't go well. We decided to try Italian as we thought there would be plenty of options for her. Normally she will happily try anything we are eating, but she shook her head at pizza, salmon and pork and pumpkin lasagne. The only thing that passed her lips was bread and orange juice. She was dancing along on my lap to the muzak though.
Afterwards I walked to Midtown and met Julia, with her baby, Charlize. She introduced me to another new park, round the north and west sides of the skyscraper. There was a curving stroll garden, and then a lawned area with slides and swings further down. Emily pootled about on the grass but was whimpering a fair bit, although she seemed to enjoy the baby swing. We adjourned indoors to a nice open plan area with tables and chairs and lots of food and drink outlets nearby, where we indulged in fig and port doughnuts and scrumptious hot ginger lemonade. Another venue to add to the list of weekend destinations close to home. Though I know Julia from a few brief meetings, it was the first time I'd gone out with her, and she was good company.
By the time we'd walked home Emily had relapsed somewhat, and once again dropped off on me when we got indoors, and felt quite hot. Her appetite had not recovered much either. She had another disturbed night (as did we).
