Daddy staying in a caravan in London this week
Daddy is trying out the EasyHotel group this week in the Earls Court area of London. From the outside the hotel looks like any ordinary London 4 storey house, but once inside, it becomes a rabbit warren of corridors and bright orange room doors. When he stepped inside his room on the top floor, (very steep steps so he was pleased he only had two small bags with him) the door opened inwards and there was just enough room to step inside. The door needed closing to be able to get into the bathroom (which is just a small plastic cubicle that has clearly been delivered in once piece and carefully placed into the room.
Basically the entire room is reminiscent of a static caravan bedroom in that it is about the same size, the bed being a 3/4 sized item fitting almost exactly to the width of the room and the bathroom adding to the length. There are just two coat hooks so daddy was pleased he took a hangar with him 🙂
Ultimately it is a £30 room so can’t complain really – but certainly wouldn’t want to stay there more than a couple of nights 🙂
Swimming Lessons
Not sure if we are simply wasting money on Oliver with swimming lessons. He seems incapable of listening to his instructor and just wants to check out what everyone else is doing rather than focussing on his own stroke etc.
Funnily enough this morning it is noted that while he can kick his legs to propel himself through the water well, not while he is putting his face in the water it seems :-s So sinking quickly ensues ….
I am left wondering if we should pull him out of this lesson and get him in a 1:1 lesson somewhere – less distractions and more strictness to do what he is told…
National Media Museum
We went out to Bradford this morning to the National Media Museum with one of Oliver’s classmates and family. We would not have thought of going there but it was a really fun trip out. Reminiscing about old tech is awesome – daddy enjoyed playing manic miner on the Sinclair ZX Spectrum 48k like he did 30+ years ago and the kids enjoyed playing on all of the games on the 5th floor. It was a really fun couple of hours and while the boys did do a reasonable amount of complaining at times, they generally had a fun time.
Daddy had his first coffee of 2014 and four hours on he is STILL buzzing :-). Perhaps the large Costa Americano was not the best idea….
