"Love the moment, and the energy of that moment will spread beyond all boundaries." - Corita Kent
Today has been pretty disastrous. We went to Gunwharf Quays which is designer outlet place in Portsmouth. I wanted to go to the Calvin Klein shop to get some new bras and to Papermill to get card for the wedding invites. It takes over an hour to get there and it took ages to get parked. We had a little wander around and then went for lunch.
Zoë started by knocking over her apple juice all on herself and then proceeded to play up for the rest of the day. We ended up fighting with her and every shop we went into she just screamed and screamed. One minute she wants to get out of the pushchair as she wants to walk, so you get her out. Then she doesn’t want to walk as she wants to be carried. So you pick her up, then she doesn’t want to be carried as she wants to walk. This went on and on all afternoon. I just about managed to get my card and my bras, but if I was in a shop and she was outside with James, I could hear her screaming. In the end we just decided to come home. We were going to go up the Spinnaker Tower but we decided that we just couldn’t risk it with the mood Zoë was in. I was really disappointed as I bought my camera and zoom lens along to take some good photos.
