My First Ever Bloggage

It was so grand to see your photos and to hear a little bit about life over with you. I will try to also post some photos but we shall have to see if that works out what with my potential for...well, not being able to do stuff like that!

So, today we went to toys r us and Esther was amazing. She picked up everything - especially Barney - and then promptly put it back when told to. I couldn't believe how good she was. That is my highlight of the day. It made me want to buy everything, of course, and I really hate the way that Toys R Us around the world - every bloomin store - make it impossible to leave without walking up and down several aisles in a maze-style fighting kids' impulses and needs for sweets, toys and other such things before finally emerging through the exit only to find six (yes, six) slides, swings and wendy houses outside between you and your car. Grr. I had to bribe Esther at that point, but hell everyone does, right?

Paul's on the phone to his sister talking about how great Esther is and how badly-behaved her other cousins are. Priceless.

So, I'm going to try to load some pictures. Good luck, me!





Hooray! These are all pictures of a walk we took at a local wine farm. Very much fun!

Well, off I go. OOOdles of love, xxx
