    I got to sleep peacefully until 8 until I swapped with Will. He went back to bed but the most amazing thing happened... I took Jax for a walk and he had a 2.5 hour nap 😁😁😁 so everyone was up and ready to go by 12 and walked to the station to meet Jackie. I was worried it was going to be awkward but it wasn't. 👍🏼👍🏼we talked about all our travel stuff.
    We walked about 2km to tower bridge which is the one everyone thinks is London bridge (saw that too but it's hardly even worth a mention)
    We walked up the side of the Thames until she took us to some market I can't remember the name of but it's right outside southwark cathedrals. Will was cracking the shits because he was hot and over Jaxon lol.
    We had some nice burgers that took forever to make and Jax only had chips because there was no kid friendly food options. We then found a pub to sit in and had a drink. will was stoked that it sold Delirium beer - he has been researching if Dan Murphy's sell it at home or not hahah he really likes it.
    The cold Coke was sooo good.
    Jaxon went down for another nap so that was great and gave us time to talk about lots of stuff.
    Her and Will got on fine so that's also a bonus relief.
    Afterwards we just walked down the river and it was lovely - past the galleries, globe theatre, lots of street performers and the 10 other non famous bridges that they have. It was very green, hot and busy.
    There were so many activities for kids as well like lego stations and a massive sand pit.
    The street performers are good quality too because they apparently need a permit.
    On lady made me so very uncomfortable though! She had a microphone and while she was getting ready to sing she was softly strumming on her guitar and was doing this big positivity speech and life story about her dark past and now she sees the light crap.
    It was just so cheesy and I wanted to gag.
    Lots of sunbakers out today because it was sunny.
    Their pebble beaches are pathetic.

    We walked down to the eye then walked back, got some photos before she jumped on the train at waterloo then we kept walking home.

    Feet. So. Sore.

    Made it! We had pies for dinner but I only had mine at 10pm because Jaxon took 2 hours to fall asleep after both of us tried 100 different ways. We eventually dumped him in the pram rocked him and now he is in the bed lol.
    Gonna kill him.
    I want to just chuck him in a cot.
    We facetimed Jess earlier and she said the Bnb lady has a cot but Jess declined it.... I could kill her.

    Jax poops a lot hahaha
    Lucky he is so damn cute.

    Childcare is still 20 times harder.
