Wellcome collection

It's surely a baby friendly place with a sparkly clean baby changing room. For the fellow mums who struggling to find clean changing facilities in Euston area, the baby changing rooms on the first and second floors is the answer.

Collection-wise, if you are interested in medical science history, this is the place to go. It is a brief but interesting display. The galleries on the first floor have 3 sections - Medicine Man, Medicine Now and The Institute of Sexology. There are no taboos here : From childbirth, to death, to sex.

There is a very classy restaurant situating on the second floor which serves lunch until 3pm. A cream tea costs £6, not bad for the area. Just a note, the cafe on the ground floor is very very busy and the baby changing room is doubled up as a disabled toilet. For those who want stress free baby changing experience, please make your way to the first or second floor.

Baby changing facilities rating (1st floor) 4.5/5

Comment - The 0.5 points is lost to the lack of place to put diaper bag (couldn't even find a hook).

Baby cinema

It's been more than a year since the last time I was in a cinema. The health visitor at Ialington Central Medical Center encourages new mums to pick up a piece of 'normal' life by going to the baby cinema. Surely I would like to have a go at the 11:30am show of 'Magin in the Moonlight'. That also meant it involved maticulas planning.

Prior to waking up in the morning: packed milk, bottle, hot water, skybaby mattress, ear defender, normal going out essentials. 

8:15am usual routine - first feeding, morning freshen up, nappy changing, morning nap

10:15am start to check bus #153 arrival time

10:30am woke baby up to catch the bus which arrived in 16minutes

10:50am caught the bus (bus was late)

11:24am arrived at Barbicans Cinema - changed nappy and grapped a bottle of water for myself

11:32am sat down in the cinema and started to warm up milk - fed the little one

11:45am show time - baby got drowsy after feeding

12:10pm baby fell asleep - I can enjoy the movie properly

I have to remark that The little one was incredibly cooperative in the whole process. While many other mums had to stand at the back of the auditorium and 'shush' or rock their babies (as u could see in the picture), I was sitting down the whole time.

I triumphed in retrieving a 'normal' life yesterday. 

Trusting smiles

Nothing can beat the blossoming trusting smiles whenever he sees my face since he knows how to smile. I hope he will keep on smiling through think and thin. 15 weeks + 3 days.

阿爸！父親節快樂！

畫得很水皮---但借此表達我對您的敬愛，就算在我任性時，都無條件地支持我。你是最強爸爸。希望您健健康康！亞仔 上

英式鬆餅Scone

英式鬆餅是最最最容易做的餅食，25分鐘就可以做好，又不要會攪得廚房一團糟，還熱騰騰的時候加草莓果醬吃很美味呢！有時間都會做這個，快速無麻煩。女皇登基鑽譆四天長週末，多了少少時，日日落雨無去街，又心血來潮做鬆餅。。。。今次沒有用模，只用手略略搓出幾個粗糙的餅型,上刷蛋醬，焗出來效果很好呢！德米說表面有點像港式菠蘿包的口感。因有少許乾藍苺，又做了幾隻藍苺小蛋糕。

鑽禧盛會

一連四日的英女皇登基六十年鑽禧盛會終於結束。這段時間，由街道，時裝店，麵包店裏小蛋糕上，都是紅白藍色的米字旗，滿街都是興奮的人羣，忽然人們都變得很愛國，對身為英國人感到很自豪；愛喝酒的人又有籍口買醉。連奶奶也跟她兩妺妹到白金漢宮欣賞巨星演唱會湊熱鬧。四處一切都非常「英國」，但更典型「英國」的卻是惡劣的天氣。灰灰的天空，濕冷的天氣，皇家音樂學院合唱團在雨中濕透震抖著唱國歌，有什麼比這更英國呢。

包餃子

因為德米的身體情況，這段期間盡量吃清淡的食物。今天包了少鹽少肉多菜的餃子，找到質量挺好的急凍台灣餃子皮。
