Today's Pic (technically yesterday, but what can you do?)

We're thinking about moving closer to town, so this morning we went to see a couple of flats. One of them was a scummy dive - students had been in and ruined the place by the looks of it, although the problem with the damp was probably pre-existing. The second was in a gorgeous little courtyard with a well. Unfortunately the bedrooms were teeny weeny, or we'd probably have taken it. I'm going to have a nosy around to see if I can find out a bit about the history of the place, because it looks very interesting. Either way, we now have a couple of agents looking for places for us, which is always useful.

After that we went to my friend L's baby's first birthday party. Now, many of you have probably been to the birthdays of cousins, nieces, nephews etc, but I haven't been to a kid's birthday in... well. In a very long time indeed. It was quite amusing, but the guests were basically us and the father's family, L's brothers having piked out. L's SIL is a bit of a cow, so it got a little tense from time to time.

Anyway, in honour of Alethia's First Birthday, the pic of the day is:
