A little bit of a round-up

It has been a couple of weeks since I posted, but it feels like longer.
Lots of things have happened, some big, some small and some in the middle.

Baby C, who is a week shy of 6 months has started on solids. I am going with baby-led weaning,where you don't puree stuff you just give the baby holdable pieces of food and she tries to eat them. Mostly she smooshes them around her face, but on nappy-evidence I can tell you that some is going in.
At the moment her menu consists of toast, banana, carrot and courgette. Exciting times.

My nana died, she was 94 and it seems it was her time and she was ready. Baby C and I are off to England to say goodbye.

I have started to get my arse into gear with my elance account and post job proposals and I think I have secured my first paying writing job. Do a little dance. It isn't much but it is a start.

Mr. C and I had a humungous row. Not something to be proud of, but we did have a very good heart-to-heart afterwards so while there are worries we are trying to address them. (For my mum - don't worry it isn't that bad - just the stresses of life building up)

I have found a fellow blogger in our town. Or more to the point she has found me. Her name is Emily, she is Canadian and her blog is here. She is much better with the photos than I am so you can go and see where we live on her blog.

I think that's about it for the time being. There is probably more to say but I can't think of it right now.

5 hot coissant:

Nice to "meet" you too!

Are you in Gap proper? Shall we meet for a cup of tea one of these days?

P.S. I'm sorry to hear about your nana. Have a safe trip to England.

I'm sory to hear of the loss of your Nana as well... even when it is the right time it is still sad.

Good luck with the writing gig!

Madame C said...

Thank you both for your kind words.

Emily, yes I am in Gap proper and meeting in real life would be splendid.

I am out of town for the next week, but let's have tea upon my return!

Emily said...

Hi again. I am back from a lovely time in London. Milling around in the crowds, going shopping on Oxford Street, and hearing English (albeit with a funny accent... ha!) did me a world of good after the past few sleepy months in Gap!

Shall we try to meet up next week sometime?
