Hello, Old Friends
This week, not one but two of my friends harrumphed their displeasure at my lack of posts recently. I say recently, but what I actually mean is, over the last few months. “Mate,” one of them wrote via Facebook, “you haven’t posted anything since before Christmas. Sort it out.” The other eyed me crossly over a skinny latte and claimed that I had ruined her morning routine. “Seriously,” she said, raising one eyebrow, “I used to read it every day before getting out of bed. Now what am I meant to do?” Finding it hard to believe that one teeny tiny little blog, probably unknown and definitely neglected, can even have any readers, I logged on today to discover that there are actually sixteen of you logging on every day. Either that or someone really REALLY wants to read a new post, and logs in on an average of once an hour….
I suppose a small update is in order. I have been House-moving-Snow-battling-Retail-working-Crochet-learning-Project-making-Toddler-taming-Coffee-drinking-Vogue-reading and Article-writing. To say life has been full is an understatement, but now I am going to take at least one night a week and dedicate it to writing my two blogs and any articles I have due – with any luck I might end up with more than sixteen readers. Or at least that one person can stop hitting the refresh button to check for new reading material.
The Boy is now no longer a baby. He walks, he talks (well, sort of… “Mum Mum Nan Nan Dada gollygollygolly babababa dodo”), he is an actual proper little person. He likes vegetables and hates chips (in case you are wondering, there isn’t even a hint of smugness in my typing – I know to simply count my blessings for as long as they last. I suspect it won’t be long before he refuses any food that isn’t white or hasn’t been dipped in custard, and I am left to call Supernanny), and seems to be a wonderfully sociable little boy. We have finally made it to toddler group (that’s another post entirely…) and started to explore parks and spend time just strolling around. I’m eager for the start of Spring proper, balmy breezes and the scent of freshly cut grass, and the long sunny days stretching out before us.
