[m i a o w] the cat

It’s funny, having a new little person in the Trailer. I had been warned by people that PartyPie would get given stuff when it turned up, but I kind of didn’t understand. Now I do. This baby is some kind of present magnet. She has scored clothes, toys, bedding, a gold baby bracelet, a taggy, more clothes, more toys, more blankets… There is a plethora of pink - and please note, there was NO pink in the Trailer until the hatching. Note the washing line…

And at the same time, her present-magnet talent seems to have also rubbed off a bit on to M and I - generally in the form of being given fantastic food - but also in the shape of a Sony Handycam (no pressure, just film the kid…or ELSE), some body cream, and I also was the very grateful recipient of a membership to LibraryThing - something I have coveted for a-g-e-s. Thank you Mr H.

Just for general information, food that I have eaten in the last two weeks has included Every Single Thing that I was prohibited from consuming for the past nine months. I began with D’Affinois at the birth centre - although the odd thing is - the first thing I ate after the event was a Savoy cracker biscuit, and it was very nearly the best thing I’ve ever eaten. Odd. Then I had california rolls. So, with the help of some very generous and accommodating people I have also ingested copious amounts of sashimi, brie, blue cheese, oysters, smoked trout, more sashimi - and these are just the ones that were previously illegal. My tummy is so happy it has almost forgiven me for stretching it way on past the outer limits… And I am yet to get to the Piper-Heidsieck champagne, as I am saving it for my own personal use at a later date.

P.S For some reason I am yet to determine, I started writing this entry at least THREE DAYS AGO. I am trying to wrangle my life into control, but I am becoming increasingly aware that I have to try to stop starting a plethora of things that I won’t finish and narrow my focus down to just a few things. Gah. Carrying these eyebags is making me thirsty.
