jas-in-bristol (early july)

a wonderful reunion with jas, who was attending a criminology conference (delivering a paper no less!) in wales. we spent a great afternoon in bristol, strolling and yakyakyak-ing. too short a time though, and I was off again on a train south, and jas set off on another adventure - cycling round italy (si?) with reece. I am still very belatedly updating this blog, forgive me - jas was here in early july!

buzz belly

every morning

he takes them down, we put them back, he takes the down, we put them.......


He can say 'booo' for 'book' now, and his new word for today is 'baaa' for 'bra' (when he was emptying them all out of my drawers (and putting them on his head for a 'hat'). He knows where his nose is, and his head, and his belly - he shows his belly whenever no one is paying him any attention (which isn't very often>!) He knows what a 'pppoo' is, and points to them in his nappy. he doesn't quite tell me when he's done one, though, but maybe one day.

up and away

brrrooooooooom

I spend so much time out the front with him and his car. Now it's a good vantage point to also watch our chickens - 3 of them pecking away amid the bamboo forest in our front garden! 3 eggs a day from blondie, blackie and brownie!

he's up

this is his preferred mode of getting around - see what happens when I prise my hand away? I am actually appreciating it too, as I can see that sometime very soon he won't need me at all (sob, sob, sniff...!)

this was on a trip to dartmoor with the lovely mitra who was visiting from oz. we swapped old news about bodhi farm and dharmananda and it was so lovely to have someone from that part of the world stop in. more please!
