Morning! Didn't get a chance to get online yesterday, was trying to keep DD calm re. rioting. Well, looting. Well, bunch of eejits smashing up our local JD Sports and trying to nick whatever they could lay their hands on.
T'was a bit scary coming home from work, as one woman's phone rang and she announced really loudly 'they're looting the Ilford mall, the station (which fronts onto it) has been closed' and given I'd been held late at work and had to run anyway to get to DD's holiday club before it shut, I had a minor panic attack, but thankfully it was just rumour - there were a fair few sirens, but the train did stop there and we all went out the side entrance rather than chance the front - didn't see anything untoward, but there were large gangs of men hanging around everywhere (I suspect they were the shopkeepers' families/friends hoping things didn't kick off, but it still felt v. intimidating). As it happened, there was looting but the trouble later was more towards Barking.
Soooo.... delta pegs? I keep meaning to buy some, but the price is putting me off - as the tent has 13 guys, I may have to buy them in 2s and 3s til I get a full set, and avoid coastal campsites til then. I do have some Rock pegs, though. In a shiny case, as I've never had to use them yet... DH keeps picking them up out of the boot and going 'what are these, again?' with a pained expression...
(Just catching up with the rest of the thread, we were told by everyone that we must be having a boy because of all the 'signs' - position of bump, yada yada - and DD was so active in there that we named her 'Disco Stu' - it was a huge surprise when she turned out to be a she! But yes, she is a very boisterous, mud-obsessed tree-climbing girl, even though she also likes pink, tea parties and Barbies. Which flummoxes me, cos I never did dolls and don't 'get' them. More camping needed!)
