Girl power

A new baby girl has arrived in the family, so far known as "naughty mouse" (nm), born at 01.18am Saturday morning 12 July, a rather cold one for Sydney. She weighed a trim 3.142kg (6lb 141/2 oz) and looks absolutely beautiful, like her clever mum Clare, despite a tiring labour.




And here is our other special girl, taking a keen interest in everything around her, especially foodie delights. I was amazed watching her at the weekend eating great handfuls of steamed broccoli with such gusto. She loves our fruit bowl, especially the "ananas" which she currently enjoys saying more than she does eating.

Every time I see her she is growing more and more a little person, rather than the baby girl she was only yesterday.

Rob and I took a chance on seeing Mumma Mia last weekend-a choice most unlike our usual preference. We both loved it-a great celebration of magnificent middle age, corny music, and great set piece dance numbers without a trace of cynicism or even cheesiness. Meryl S, Colin F, Pierce B & Julie W don't have great voices, which made it even more endearing. What a bunch of troopers! Benny and Bjorn even had tiny cameo roles which was an absolute hoot. Take a chance and go see if you love it too!
