the contingency day off

so mom and dad did everything they could to prepare for a day in the mountains whizzing around on the sacred white stuff (snow ... not clouds you ninny) there's over 3m snow base on mt seymour, that's 9 joel heights of snow.. wow. they checked the forecast religiously, got all our snow gear ready, prepared for the best. so this is the night that i decide to wake up and scream my head off 4 times, the final one at 5.49am.

thanks ... they said ... graciously

so mom lets dad sleep for a while, then dad takes me out walking for a while, mom sleeps, then i pass out in the stroller at 10.50, so dad picks up mom from home, and we all walk together down to the beach. the sun and blue sky with lovely fluffy clouds is quite a picture. the mountains covered in snow look fabulous. but we're all way too tired to be up there. Kits beach decides not to sell fish and chips until march, so climbed the slope to the famous sophie's cosmic cafe - a kits icon and thoroughly fine place to eat breakfast and burgers and things.

we got the finest seats in the window, sun streaming in. it was our first ever successful family meal out, and i behaved impeccably, having a load of fun with a bus and a police car (ickle ones on the table that is) mmmm great food, great company, and mom and dad finished off with a chocolate and coconut milkshake.

so it worked out ok in the end. let's go with the rest of the week.
