Quick update

Them there spartans sure did good!

Thanks for sympathetic comments for all the "mum stuff". Each one was much appreciated, but I'm not going to answer them all because that's all I'd say.

(Edit: this was a good resource: http://www.committment.com/mamaswaltz.html)

We had a lovely few days in Italy. Capri was brilliant - did some walking, and went up to Jove's villa, which was my personal highlight along with the spiffy hotel :)

Am starting to feel a little like a football balanced on two cocktail sticks, but am feeling generally more energetic and less achey, so that's good. Only 10 more weeks to go...

that thar pome I was jabberin about

Metaphors by Sylvia Plath

I'm a riddle in nine syllables,
An elephant, a ponderous house,
A melon strolling on two tendrils.
O red fruit, ivory, fine timbers!
This loaf's big with its yeasty rising.
Money's new-minted in this fat purse.
I'm a means, a stage, a cow in calf.
I've eaten a bag of green apples,
Boarded the train there's no getting off.

That's cool - thanks! It stuck in my head after you mentioned it, but I never looked it up.

Is your icon Borrobil?

Glad you like the pome.

Ah - I always merged those two books in my head, for some reason.

Glad you had a fabulous time, didn't realise you were off on a proper getting in an airyplane hol :)

Can't believe there's only 10 weeks left, how the hell did that happen? :D

I know - it's whizzed by. I had my first ante-natal class today. I'm getting a bit nervy about the whole pain thing, so I'm going to tap you next time I see you ;) I'll probably also text you repeatedly during the event, going owwww! owww! owwww!
