Since Jon was busy with his assignment, this weekend was pretty much a Mama weekend!
On Saturday (March 6, 2021), we went to the Peel Park and met a Spanish mother with a baby girl and a 3 year-old boy Davin. He was staring at Islay's ball so I invited him to kick it, then he was so excited and they started playing together. Davin was responding to his mother in Spanish and to us in English and that was impressive. He seemed to have mastered both languages! Later, there was a Polish father with a girl, speaking in Polish, too. I love this diversity and I am sure I will miss this in Japan.

After the park, we went to Liddle. We wanted to buy flower bulbs and multi-purpose compost but they didn't have neither of them, so we just bought a pretzel (that Islay called big doughnut!), a small pizza, baby cucumbers and other staff. We found a picnic area near the river and sat down and enjoyed the lunch. The weather was really pleasant -no wind, comfortably warm, not too bright. There was nobody except us in the area. We could hear birds chirping and saw a few people walking, running, or cycling occasionally on the other side of the river. Islay loved the pretzel and the cucumbers so much that she did not moan even for a second. I haven't been relaxed at a meal time like this for a while as she rejects food at every meal nowadays. So it was a really nice picnic after all.
