Pete meets world

It's been a busy few days for our proto-human, with trips to Oakland and San Mateo.  We had idyllic ideas of picnics in the sunshine but the weather was unexpectedly British (British-normal, not British-current, so sufferable).  No bother - Pete needs to toughen up for our planned return to his mothercountry in July.

He also got to meet lots of important people, although I'm sure he still thinks of everyone as doctors or nurses, and is probably wondering why the daily staff hasn't changed in several weeks.  He's still getting on very well with Grandma, and who wouldn't?  Hugs on demand, endless attention, a friendly face to talk to...things have certainly changed since I was his age.


Can the nice lady stay forever?



Visiting Coyote Point Park.


A rather nice display of (I think) Icelandic poppies.


Hanging out with Anat, which made a certain other young man rather jealous...


...but Mum stepped into the breach once again!


Picnic the next day, in less than Californian temps.


Dwight and Santi, proud of their new (stolen) baby.


Today, and much more like it.  Hannah models this year's Walnut Creek mummy look.


When I was your age I could walk.  What's the problem?


A family in recline.


Not entirely convinced by all this fresh air.


A captive audience.  Much better.
