It's a Miracle you managed to get any baking done you sounded so over-excited in your last post. I have been a huge Barry Fan ever since mother introduced me to 'Manilow Magic' some years ago, and even now I still adore him. I do wish I'd been with you! Did you manage to get backstage?
Last weekend was little Latte's birthday and I've never had such a ghastly group of children in the house. I was sure there was going to be an accident but everyone went home unscathed at two o'clock. 'Looks like we made it' I exclaimed to Mr Latte, only for little Latte number two, to injure her ankle on the trampoline a nano-second later. Mr Latte took the damaged child off to A&E and I asked him to keep me posted via text. He was gone for ages and all the time I was waiting for an update. Finally, she came home - on crutches! Little Latte was holding up very well. She told me all about the lovely nurse called Mandy who plastered her up. 'I wish you'd been there though mummy' she continued, 'I can't smile without you'. It will be a while before she's ready to take a chance again on the trampoline - if I don't burnt it to cinders first that is. We put the children to bed and unfortunately, somewhere in the night Little Latte became quite melancholic. By daybreak however, she had recovered and was looking forward to showing the plaster to her friends at school. Apparently she has to keep flexing her muscles and wiggling her toes. When I asked her what she was doing she said she was trying to get the feeling again. She can't run around in this lovely sunshine so she's spending a lot of time with her leg raised listening to beautiful music - like Barry Manilow!
Anyway, party picture attached - chocolate cake - obviously!
This one's for you, love Lucy.
PS I am slightly miffed that you haven't asked me about my new job - do you even read my letters or are you too busy at the Copacabana to bother?
