Sunflowers and Chinatown

So up early and planting sunflower seeds and "rubbishes" (radishes) in the garden. Sylvia gets very excited by the "mini-beasts" in the earth - fat worms, shiny millipedes and wood lice. We also put up a bird box, and when I say we'll have to wait for a bird to come and live in it, Sylvia says OK, crosses her arms and waits - thinking it will happen in a few minutes.

We went to Chinatown on the tube in the afternoon, and saw a woman making dragon's hair candy - sort of like candy floss with nuts in. We had a drink in a cafe there, and Sylvia ate (or rather didn't) a "snowball" - which was like uncooked dough with dessicated coconut inside.

At home, Sylvia was waving a pencil around in time with some music and told me she was "inducting"!

Cara and Tom came for tea - so we had lots of ice cream - the only time when Sylvia is always totally silent.
