He walks! Alone and unaided! He can get from place to place! wowoweeee!
His dad was so choked when he came home - R did his new trick and let go of the sofa and waddled towards him with his hands out - that he started crying. It was lovely. I want my life to be [...]

So what I thought was pain and suffering was actually a tantrum of heroic proportions. The reason I know this is that we’ve had three or four since. Observing one of these under laboratory conditions, and not caught in the throes of blind panic, I have noticed three things.
a) No tears.
b) His ‘I-want’ line, the [...]

Georgette Heyer cures all ills.
I was having the day from hell, ‘feverish and fagged’, culminating in R’s ear infection peaking in the middle of Ross-on-Wye and me having to administer Calprofen via a syringe between a guy selling sheepskins and a guy selling fish. We had had to vacate the Antique Tea Shoppe (so twee, [...]

Still sick, been to docs and we have a double ear infection also. The kicker? Can’t do anything about the ear infection cause… he won’t keep the medicine down!!
The poor little bugger sicked all down my back and all over the sofa this afternoon - it scares the daylights out of him. Dispassionately, it was [...]

Spoke too soon. When will I learn not to congratulate myself too soon? How soon is too soon?? Interesting day. I’m going to bed (groan).

All over!!! Back to porridge, toast, bananas for breakfast and my sunny little spud has come back to me.
Today is a fair one in prospect - a bbq and extensive lounging in my parents garden. This will be considerably assisted by the fact that husband and I had a new superduper memoryfoam mattress delivered yesterday, [...]

Three womits in the night, one certainly my fault after a hideously ill-advised bottle of milk at midnight. We saw it all again at 2am.
Touch wood, cross fingers, touch fingers, cross legs - no more sick so far. That’s none for 6 hours. He’s had toast and more electrolyte mix…. we’ll see.
Please excuse my preoccupation [...]

My poor mouse is ill. Shittin and spittin all over the shop. We have finally got him to bed with 8 oz of sugared salted water and a kisss- I hope he’s ok and I shall check on him shortly. I have been avoiding going into his room because I don’t want to disturb him, [...]

I have been looking forward to this weekend now for a couple of months - we’re off to dad’s and a brace of relaxed, harmonious days in the garden and with paws round a bucket of wine. Maybe a walk, maybe a dinner out, maybe a barbecue… but always a good time.
Plus, R will see [...]

Spent the day shopping with muvva and digging her garden - being paid in tea and coos of appreciation as I turn the cement-like earth of the driest hill in the county. In skinny jeans, a Miss Sixty top and wellingtons. Ohhhh, yah.
Later on this evening friend R came round in his business partner’s Veilside [...]
