# It was Nattle's birthday yesterday, so we all had a bath. This is a bit of a triumph because Stuart the builder has been taking the hammer to the bathroom this week, and we had to endure a couple of days without a lav, let alone a bath. (He did plumb the lavvy back in the evenings, but there were one or two slight tense moments).

All shiny clean, we went into the city center for something to eat and a bit of shopping. For lunch we went to Cathay, because the buffet is more fun for the Bean than a normal restarant, it's not expensive, and they do vegetarian and vegan food. They're great with kids too, and we had fun. The shopping part of the exercise was meant to be angled towards looking at DAB walkman radios, but somehow all we finished up with was 5 boxes of Tempo tissues. Only Superdrug seem to stock them now, apparently, so you've got to get them when you can.

Back at home, I baked a chocolate-hazelnut-raspberry cake, and the Bean and I sang Happy Birthday. Ace.
