List of stuff:

  • 7 weeks to go until this kid is born. It is up the wrong way, I don't mind, keeps life interesting.
  • The shop has the most fabulous new shelves, although not many are up yet. It feels like a "real" shop now.
  • Today was very, very lovely. Neither boy went to school or kindy, and we picnicked at Days Bay and had a very wonderful time. There is a duck pond at the Days Bay park thing (my brain! Domain? Reserve?), and it has eels in it. I could watch eels for hours.
  • And a warm evening meant the second night in a row we were able to dine outside tonight.
  • A year in, and we can add up some numbers, and business is working out. YUSS.
  • We've gone very middle class, and put a raised vege garden in our front yard. It is just a box at the moment (I really want to waterproof it, and have it as a rustic swimming pool), but once we add soil and seeds, the bounty will be magnificent, and it has only cost about eighty six squizzilion dollars.
  • Some bastards are making mojitos on telly, and I would almost (almost!) kill for a mojito, hell, at this stage I'd almost kill for a glass of Chasseur Dry cask vin.
  • But I wouldn't kill for that.
  • Or anything.
  • I may or may not be avoiding writing a newsletter.

Yay, 7 weeks to go! I'm counting down along with you. Thankfully I've finally started to "pop out" and LOOK this pregnant.

There is hope for your mojito craving: a study published a few days ago showed that "light drinking" in pregnancy may actually be beneficial. Have a look at the press release here:

I've had a half-glass of champagne twice in the past week, after months of total abstinence, and I'm enjoying having that little bit of freedom - especially with the holidays approaching!

P.S. Mine's around the wrong way too - but there's plenty of time for a few somersaults to change that. :)

Charlotte, only 4 1/2 weeks now, and the baby turned by itself, despite my best efforts at encouraging it to stay, so I could be too posh to push.

As it happens, one of your names is one of our favourites. I like em' all.
