The Second Best News This Week Is...

Wagamama is coming the Sheffield!!! We wandered to Leopold Square today in search of Tapas... lo and behold, right next to the Tapas bar... notification that Wagamama opens it's doors on 24 April 2008!!!!! Only 6, yes that's right, 6 more sleeps!!!

Footnote : this has relevance a) because we like Wagamama, b) because we like Wagamama and c) because James and Michelle like Wagamama.... [perhaps that should be a)...]

Weston Park

Well the weather still can't make it's mind up... we'd planned a family day out, the weather dictated where that would be... bright sunshine and a crisp morning... Great Canons Hall Farm... ten minutes later... the sky darkened, the sun disappeared, and the wind picked up... Weston Park Museum it was...

When we got there the student Dr.'s from the University were conducting a Teddy Surgery... had we known Sarah could have brought her "well loved" Panda for come treatment... As it was we borrowed 2 Mickey Mouse dolls from the receptionists... we by passed triage and prescriptions and went straight for the bandages... plasters, "pots" [plaster cast] x-rays, and c-scan...

Jemima was transfixed by Theo the poorly teddy who seemed to wander around all afternoon... although the most fun Jemima seemed to have was with the lockers... she could creep in and close the door behind her.... am not sure whether she's been watching Narnia too much...
