Em & I are still a bit poorly today but we managed to get things done anyway. It was one of those days when I miss having family nearer so I could just sit out an illness - I thought that, pre-kids I would have taken the day off work today and sat in a comfy chair under a duvet with a warm drink, telly zapper and mobile phone in the knowledge that if I rested completely I'd be better quicker. Instead today Sophie decided not to nap and wouldnt let me go to sleep (tried feeding her in bed, got continually kicked in the tummy, but if I put my hand over my stomach she hurt my "spare" boob instead - grrrr)! I felt a little better when I forced myself to get into the kitchen to make pancakes. I did bacon with maple syrup for 1sts and lemon with sugar for seconds (I actually offered bananas with peanut butter and chocolate spread - Emma's new favourite mix, but all she wanted was bacon!). Seeing the maple syrup reminded me of just before Christmas when we went round to a friends house for a girlie evening with home-made waffles, and our host offered a range of toppings including maple syrup. We were all politely putting small amounts on when a Canadian lady sloshed on a large portion of it. I tried to tactfully explain it's a bit of a luxury here!
