Babushka time!

Image
First of all let me make it clear... these are not babushka dolls...   Traditional Russian nesting dolls called Matreshka.  Babushka however is grand mother... or Kate Bush's song... you know this one Now that is clear I can tell you that Edgar's Babushka, my mother, is here in Cardiff.  And it has been wonderful. Egg giggles at her and I get to sleep in the mornings.  She is actually here with the mission to take us to Russia for holidays... Imagine travel on the plan with almost 10 month old active little boy... Yes I cannot either. But then I also worry about the time there. Would little one have a jet lag how does this work in small babies? What if my parented will drive me absolutely mad? What if my friends don't want to hang out. That is not that I have many friends left. It is all very worrying.... But cannot chicken out of this now. We are off to Russia on Friday. And dearies in home town, I do not know yet how busy we will be but do get

I have a confession to make...

well actually few of these... I love love the property programs and am a fan of Kirstie Allsopp .  Think she is so awesome! She is very inspiring, didn't she made entire nation craft in last few years? But also she is funny, intelligent  and feminist. I also love George... You know the restoration man George. We once watched tons of his other programme. Think about 4 or 5 hours....mad! Then I adore vintage shopping... I don't like the mass produce things, but I cannot afford anything else really so looking for one of the kind vintage pieces are the solution. If I could live in Beyond Retro in London I so would! Besides vintage shoes fit my very small feet better!  And my other confession is that I am a moonie. Apparently it is a thing. That's what you would call Sailor Moon fans. I have been one for years really.... Since I have been little. Now we are re watching it with my little man, well he actually doesn't care much.

Oh is there no female leads ... At all?

Marvel is owned by Disney. In case you didn't know. So these awesome fun action films have big budgets and you know they will be a blockbuster! Well most of the time.  But what about that dad who took his little girl to get a Gamora action figure after they seen Guardians of the Galaxy to Disney store... And found none.  And now just out of the interest I went to have a look on what about the Age of Ulton... I loved Scarlet Witch and loved how they let more light in on Black Widow's past... I found this... And this .... The camp looking litre figurine is Mr Marvel.... What!?  It is like there were no female leads what's so ever! How is this possible!! I filed utterly discussed! Sure there are lots of princess outfits but what about girls who kick arse?!  I am very happy to see the development in the princess' characters they don't just clean sing and wait! They shoot for their own hand, run away and work hard to make their dreams

Sunday - race day!

Stephen said to Edgar while pushing his pram to the park to the start "yes, Egg, that's what she does... And fairly regularly!" I guess Egg will be my biggest supporter.  This Sunday I did the Women's Running 10k. And it was awesome! Really nice route, even if we had to do the 2 loops. Pacers did the amazing job so did the marshals clapping and cheering the runners.  And I had such a great time that I didn't realised that I smashed my personal best and got this result! Steve and Dickie are fascinated that I must be super annoyed at these 47 milliseconds... Oh well but it is just barely over and hour when I expected to finish in a hour and 2 or even 3 minutes! It was a pleasant surprise!  And as we know race day doesn't finish at the finish line. Oh by the way check out how awesome the goody bag is!  And the medal is extra lovely too with back engraved with date and place of the race!! I do think that I actually managed to
