1. You guys are just too sweet re my croquembouche. Making it was a lot of fun, and reminded me of just how much I love baking and making sweet creations.
I suspect I will be one of those Mums who stays up until 2am making birthday cakes when the time comes (and, truthfully, I can’t wait!)
2. Baby cuddles are the best. Seriously.
Especially when the baby falls asleep on your chest and you can sit there breathing in their beautiful newborn smell.
(an old photo. look how small she was….)
Miss C still takes a short morning nap snuggled on my chest, and I am not giving this one up until she decides to. It’s just too damn wonderful.
3. Thanks to the reminder from this lovely gal, I signed up for what will now be my first post-baby race - a 10km run in a few weeks time! It should be slow, but wonderful, although I am still deciding whether to push C in the pram or run it solo. Thoughts??
4. Anyone ready for Spring? I am in two minds. Although it means the end of the Winter chill (yay)l, it also heralds the start of magpie swooping season (not yay). And owing to my irrational fear of our feathered friends enemies, Spring normally leads to a spike in my swoop-related anxiety.
(ps - I should not have googled magpie swooping. That is all.)
5. I have a relatively busy weekend planned, with some friends staying tonight, a little ‘work’ being done tomorrow (curious??), and a catch up with the girls on Sunday. Should be rather delightful.
What about you? Do you have any fears? Spiders, bugs, snakes – don't bother me at all. But even a pigeon flying nearby sends me into a spin.
Ooh, definitely curious! Sounds like a great weekend ahead.
ReplyDeleteI would probably run solo, depending on how much buggy running you've- but you don't want to be worrying about Miss C the whole time!
I'm scared of dogs! And swoopy magpies, of course!
oh dear lordy, swooping magpies terrify me! Ok back to lovely things, like little baby snuggles :) how special. Happy weekend :)

Congratulations on your croquembouche and that it is spelt is even more impressive.
ReplyDeleteI'm not looking forward to magpie season and wonder where you buy those spikes that I see in other peoples' helmets?
I used to walk on one side of our street when I was little because the other side had had magpies - I am looking so forward to spring - the produce is what I am really after - I don't really mind snuggling in front of the heater and baking bread.
ReplyDeleteLiz, those spikes are just plastic cable ties attached through the "gappy bits" (technical term) of the bike helmet, with a length sticking up. You can cut the length according to preference.
ReplyDeleteI'd forgotten that we shared that magpie swooping fear :) I'm a bit concerned I'm going to get swooped on my wedding day (the first of spring), but am trying to push that out of my mind! I am definitely not going to google magpie swooping!
ReplyDeleteSnakes scare me soo bad but that bird attack looks creepy. I had two birds fly right in my lap while at a Luau in Hawaii. So random and I stood up and screamed. hahaha. So excited to hear about your first post-baby 10k.
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness, those magpies are bold aren't they! I'm totally looking forward to Spring, I can't wait! :D
ReplyDeleteSpiders! We have these big redbacks around our house and they terrify the bejesus out of me!
