While out and about I saw two unusual sights in quick succession: a Japanese man who was a good seven feet tall, then a severely disabled woman in an electric wheelchair with her husband/carer riding along behind on a kids' buggy board.
My exuberance about getting Emily off the bottle was a bit premature, as she was very reluctant to drink her carton at teatime, and when we sat down after her bath she asked for milk several times, before I distracted her with a story. There's no going back now, but I will have to find many and varied ways to get calcium into her.
The day ended on an unpleasant note, when I realised that the loo was blocked. Midnight found me in rubber gloves (one of which sprang a leak) with a coathanger rammed up the U-bend, but all to no avail and Nick had to call the letting agency helpline to arrange a plumber for the earliest possible visit. This is an advantage of paying through the nose for our place : 24 hour assistance for life's tricky little problems.
