h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

We are so looking forward to seeing you and Baby Eris at the party. Have you got everything organised!

Just about. Have got my train tickets, I get into toiwn at about twelve thirty and my train home leaves at seven pm. Mark bought a buggy for me to bring Eris in, as her proper pram is just too big to manage trains with. All I have to do is make sure I pack enough nappies and sunblock the night before

I'm quite looking forward to it as well. See you there

If you need some help and want me to meet you before the main meeting time, that is cool.

We are looking forward to seeing you too!

I'm trying to find out what is happening with the picnic idea that is struggling to get going. Other than that we're planning to have one there don't seem to be any definite plans. I've asked in the picnic area (geddit?) if we plan to just munch as we meet at three... If we do that, I have to find something to do for a couple of hours that are fifteen week old baby friendly.

I was pondering taking her to the Tate modern, but it's such a hassle getting over there that I may just go for a wander. Not being a nodnoLer I have no idea what I can do other than the things I love which is shop, wander about the Tates (do you think they'll notice if I abscond with the pretty pre-raphaelite pictures?) and go to see the Reduced Shakespeare chaps. Only the first is really sprog friendly, and only until she gets hungry/ bored
If you can think of anything to go look at where I shant get frowned at the information would be gratefuly accepted

I do have a question for you as well (mini eassay this post is turning into, hmm?. I'm breastfeeding Eris, do you think anyone will be offended in the park in the afternoon? I shall endeavour to splodge under a tree out of the way anyhow, I just don't want to make people uncomfortable.

Hmmmm

What are your tastes in art?

I am sure no one will mind the breast feeding - a girl has to eat when a girl has to eat!

I don't really have 'taste' so to say. I don't even know a lot about art, I just enjoy wandering round galleries and getting a bit of culture into this old brain cell

I might take Eris to the big huge mammoth Watersones on Picc Circus at some point and introduce her to books in large quantities *grin*

Oh that is great and the Royal Academy is near there too. I was going to suggest the lesser known Wallace Collection which is just off Oxford Street http://www.wallacecollection.org/

I will try and push the picnic idea!

It's hard to get peole interested when we have no definite plans though. Hopefully we'll resolve it soont hough, then we can start harranguing people
