.... okay I suppose technically it wasn't lunch "with" Liv Tyler, more like "lunch in the same place as Liv Tyler at the same time as Liv Tyler"..
Poppy and I went for lunch in central London today, near Regent Street. I was eating my yummy lunch, Poppy was throwing shit on the floor, as usual, and I glance outside to see Liv Tyler walking up! She apparently just had a baby because she had a teeny tiny one with her. Then Poppy and I finished our lunch and Liv Tyler (presumably) had a nice family meal with her family and we all went our separate ways. I tried to get Poppy to wave and say "hiya!" to her on the way out but OF COURSE she was pretending to be shy. She did say "hiya!" to every homeless person we walked by today though - I think she knows who needs cheering up :)
That is tiny Liv Tyler in the background (I know, I missed my calling as a paparazzi)
Americans, you might be asking - "Allie, it's Monday. Why are you not at work?" Today is a bank holiday. The early May bank holiday to be precise. There are lots of things the Brits do well and one of them is having days off work. There are bank holidays built into the calendar at regular intervals so we all get nice three day weekends. May is especially fun because we get the early May bank holiday AND the spring bank holiday in a few weeks! Whoop whoop!
Mat and I went on our first proper date night since Poppy was born last night (how pathetic is that? 15 months without a date night!). We went to the Experimental Cocktail Club in Chinatown, then out for magical Chinese soup dumplings, also in Chinatown. It was a gloriously baby-free couple of hours. Poppy was fast asleep when we got home and the babysitter must have sprinkled fairy dust on her or something because she slept through until 5 am! That is unheard of these days! It was magical.
Not much else to report in the Horvath household. Poppy can say "shoe" and "book" now, which is adorable. She also got some new shoes, which are boy shoes but also adorable. And that's it! All I got. Here are some photos of our most recent adventures:
I bought Poppy a hair clip. She obviously loves it.
And she still loves swinging and checking out the artwork at the dodgy park.
This is me trying to save her from running in front of a bus. She refuses to hold my hand.
We were going to buy Poppy a tiny baby bike but changed our minds - she's probably a bit young still and she absolutely HATED the little baby helmet.
Date night. This is the Experimental Cocktail Club - no signs, no advertising, just a weird door wedged in between two Chinese restaurants in Chinatown.
Mat "reading" the cocktail menu and me wedged between some strangers.
The only photo we took together.
And this is Poppy doing her favourite things - watching the ducks in her new kicks and eating cheerios.
The end.
