OK, what’s new?

The house is still warmer downstairs than up, but we worked out why – upstairs is exposed on most sides, and downstairs is next to other peoples’ houses on most sides, so that removes the mystery.

I’m still working, and earning less and less as the dollar drops. But I’m on site once a week, and I charge for my travel, so that’s OK.

Ruth’s still being a brill mummy (even if she leaves Tehilla to cry in the morning for a bit sometimes) (but she’s normally busy doing something else)

Esther Pie’s getting bigger and bigger, she’s a big help and will offer Ruth to peel carrots or cut up peppers for supper in the afternoons. We’re slowly teaching her to read, she has a few words that she recognises, and she knows all her letters. She can count up to 100+ and she will, given any opportunity.

Shira Bira occasionally comes to planet Earth to visit, she still lives with the butterflies much of the time. She’ll sing all her gan songs in Hebrew, and when we join in, she’ll say "No, in ENGLISH!" She spends a lot of the afternoon (when awake) tired.

Deela Weela is also growing, and we’re STILL waiting for her to walk alone. She will zoom round the furniture, will favour cruising over crawling, but for a child who was rolling at 3 months, and crawling at 4, she’s being very stubborn about not walking. She was taking one step and then falling over, but since coming back from Glasgow a couple of weeks ago, she has no longer even been standing unaided. Well, she’s only got (approximately) 8 months to learn to walk nicely before Sara’s wedding… 

Anyhow, thats us up to date, better get on with work. Byebye.
