Finished work

Hooray! I have finished work for the next 10 months...and now the real work begins! So much to prepare for the new arrival and for Sunshine of course! Sunshine will be moving to her new room in the next couple of weeks so there is quite a lot of junk sorting to do (and yes I know we've had plenty of time to do it before now...but we are a bunch of serious procrastinators and it seems to be impossible to fit anything around work....excuses,excuses!)

Thank goodness we don't have to make decisions about buggies and cots and car seats this time...so in that respect things are slightly easier (and if you like shopping a bit less fun!) just the change management!

Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood

I loved this book! It was a mooch from the states in return for one of my difficult to get hold of books...I wasn't sure what to expect entirely although I do know it has been made into a movie (which I haven't seen...but will probably go on my list of chick-flicks to watch!) It was very moving and I would recommend it to anyone - well, anyone female!

I guess the synopsis is that it is a story of discovery for one woman who is having a bit of a life-crisis and blames her mother for everything she can't get a handle on. So the bulk of the book is a chronicle of key events in her mothers life and the life of the Ya-Ya's. Read it!!

I'm having a moment of indecision as to whether to put it up for mooching again...but I guess I'll need the space soon...

Bump @ 31 Weeks

I've been a bit rubbish at posting bump pictures this time round...so I thought I'd better do one! Unfortunately there is no comparison available between this gestation and the last but I shall make a reminder at 18 days to go for a comparison shot...

This is the best dinner conversation!

Peter: This is the best chicken I've had all Easter!

Sunshine: This is the best carrot and swede I've had from Sainsbury's!

The Yacoubian Building

 I finished this book a couple of weeks ago but this is the first chance I've had to blog it...I'm not entirely sure if I enjoyed it or not...I'm not sure what I was expecting from it. It was certainly insightful with regards to peoples attitudes to religion and men's attitudes towards women in the middle east.

It's already been mooched...
