Emmy's Banjo Practise: Things to do before you have kids
http://emmysbanjo.blogspot.com/2014/02/things-to-do-before-you-have-kids.html
Tuesday, 25 February 2014. Things to do before you have kids. Of course you CAN do all of the below after you have had kids, but it is harder, especially while they are small. Have long luxuriant baths, maybe together. Go out - Theatre, fine dining etc. Be unpredictable - drinks after work, spur of the moment fun. Be lazy, have lie-ins and naps. Stay up late and get very drunk. 27 February 2014 at 12:26. I hope youre not too frustrated about not being able to do all those things without great effort!

Emmy's Banjo Practise: Normal Life
http://emmysbanjo.blogspot.com/2013/05/normal-life.html
Monday, 27 May 2013. So Minnie has been home for exactly 2 months now, and she will be 15 weeks old on Thursday. And we are getting on ok. My body has adjusted to the many nighttime interruptions. Penny loves her little sister, though occasionally lashes out (which is hard, but thankfully very infrequent). We are starting to be a bit braver, going into the city just the 3 of us, but I have already learned that if I push it too far then things can get a bit wrong. So we are happy . busy but happy....Noz a...

Emmy's Banjo Practise: A Hard Day's Night
http://emmysbanjo.blogspot.com/2013/06/a-hard-days-night.html
Thursday, 20 June 2013. A Hard Day's Night. Minnie was up all night. She started screaming and arching her back in pain at about 5pm, and C and I took it in turns to keep her in a comfy position through the night so the other could get some sleep. Maybe teeth, probably heat or some kind of allergy (pollen has been high). Makes me realise how, despite so many hospital appointments, Minnie has been just as easy as Penny was at this age.

Emmy's Banjo Practise: Washington and the Ocean
http://emmysbanjo.blogspot.com/2012/09/washington-and-ocean.html
Wednesday, 12 September 2012. Washington and the Ocean. Stopped off just over the border in Ellensburg to see Dick and Jane’s garden, full of lots of homemade colourful art. Then we chose to have lunch in a beautiful converted yellow church, where they had made Heavenly Loaf (fluffy ciabatta with cheese, garlic and plenty of salt, yum! Arrived in Seattle, realising that we were nearing the end of our trip by hitting the ocean. Afterwards we all jumped into taxis to get to the karaoke place. Canal Boat Ho...

Emmy's Banjo Practise: Without Child (and yet with child)
http://emmysbanjo.blogspot.com/2012/12/without-child-and-yet-with-child.html
Thursday, 6 December 2012. Without Child (and yet with child). After a sickly and tiring November, I am still snotty but starting to feel Christmassy. Cards are made, plans are in place, decorations are up, and all is well as long as I have a clean tissue nearby. In the meantime, Charlie and Penny have gone to Greece for 5 days with Erika and Theresa to see Super-Papou, and it sounds like they are having a wonderful time. But in the meantime, some small observations:. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Emmy's Banjo Practise: On Maternity Leave Again
http://emmysbanjo.blogspot.com/2013/02/on-maternity-leave-again.html
Tuesday, 5 February 2013. On Maternity Leave Again. So, last Thursday I finished work, and I don't think I realised what a drain working full-time had been on me, both mentally and physically. I now feel like I have been given the gift of time, and even better I get to spend that time with my lovely bundle of Penny, exclusively even until Baby 2 (Fidget) comes along.

Emmy's Banjo Practise: Our New Baby
http://emmysbanjo.blogspot.com/2013/03/our-new-baby.html
Friday, 1 March 2013. Our baby was born on the 14th February, and she was born very sick. It seems she had been very anaemic in the womb, which had left her short of oxygen. So she came out with multiple organ failure, and we were not clear for a few days whether she would make it or not. Two weeks later, she is now stable, though with many ups and downs. So how do I feel? Because indeed why not us! So, for now, I need to surf the waves of sadness that wash over me from time to time and just keep going .

Emmy's Banjo Practise: Home Again
http://emmysbanjo.blogspot.com/2012/09/home-again.html
Saturday, 15 September 2012. A group of us had a late breakfast at the Spot Café before going for a walk in the park. Some went for a game of Pitch and Putt, while P and I rested on the beach watching the boats and enjoying playing in the sand. Then one final fat burger before driving to the airport. Returning the cars was seamless, and P and I snuggled up on the plane to have a fair bit of sleep, though I was happy to know that I wouldn’t be back at work till Tuesday.

Emmy's Banjo Practise: Canada Ahoy
http://emmysbanjo.blogspot.com/2012/09/canada-ahoy.html
Thursday, 13 September 2012. We jumped on the Monorail with Matthew, picking up Katie and Dave on the way, as we headed towards the markets in the middle of Seattle. Stopped off at Ludi’s on Pike for a brilliant hash brown and bacon breakfast. Then we wandered through the markets, along the waterfront to the Curiosity shop (which was nothing much, in my opinion). We then drove to Canada, meeting a pleasant but firm border guard as we tried to get across. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). A Gill and Sio...
