It was much warmer this week, thankfully. We even managed to hit the playground yesterday, as evidenced by the pic above. It was a nice day for January in London, and the playground was suitably crowded.
Pascale has learned to add at school! She was saying, "5+5=10, 5+4=9," etc, and I thought she had just memorizing some sums, so I asked her one out of the blue. She thought about it for maybe 15 seconds, then came up with the right answer! You could have knocked me over with a feather. At this point, she can only add single-digit numbers, but she definitely gets the concept.
We went out for lunch at a new restaurant today. It's an Italian place, and they had chicken livers on toast for an appetizer. I'm always impressed with a restaurant that has chicken livers on the menu, and these were quite tasty.
All of us have been struck with a nagging cold. Sometimes at this time of year it occurs to me that hibernation might be the best thing to do. The holidays are over, as are the couple of weeks spent recovering from the holidays. Now there's just the long wait until spring. Every day, I notice that the days are getting longer. It is no longer dark at 4 PM, for which I am grateful. There are not many pictures this week.
