Love books!

Little A really loves looking at book covers and is currently reading about psychology, yoga and a new book by my own favourite author, Paul Auster, who I coincidenatally will see in two weeks time at a reading. I'm very excited!

A wonderful nap

This is the view we had when eating lunch today. Not bad at all. We sometimes drive to this little Italian place and buy some massive sandwiches that are out of this world. They are so good!

Later we drove to the park nearby and took a little nap. Little A was sleeping in his pram and we on a blanket on the grass. I actually fell asleep and then was woken up by some birds singing. Not bad at all. I have been having a hard time relaxing in this way since A was born because I am always on guard. You never know for how long he will sleep and that makes it hard to relax. My response to this situation has largely been to stop trying to relax. I'm doing lots more now than I did before I had A and I guess it is a way to keep control.
-Ha! You can't wake me up, because I'm not going to sleep!
That attitude makes you kind of tired and tense so this little nap today meant quite a lot to me.

Whose baby is this anyway?

Although Little A is four months next week, I still catch myself thinking "who has left their baby on my sofa?" I am very much used to him being around but sometimes I feel like I'm waiting for his parents to come and pick him up. And it's not when he is cranky or not so pleasant to be around. It's usually when he is happy and just lying around and I can watch him. It's like I'm fine looking after him, but surely he is not staying for ever, is he?
I guess he is. This is his home too now.

The monkey might be stalking me

There is this blog called Apan (The Monkey) and she has a feature were she stalks a blog for a week (I think) and now I have been nominated to be stalked. What an odd sentence, not something you normally want.
I feel all self-conscious, like when you're having people over and you haven't had the time to tidy up or if you just moved and the things are not in their right place yet. I want to tell you that I have been meaning to change the way the blog looks but I haven't had the time. But please picture something based on the pattern above :)
Anyway, if you like what you read, please feel free to vote for me on

If you don't have a dream, how can you have a dream come true?

Seeing the all the footage from the wedding today, made me really miss London. So right now I'm in a bit of a bad mood. I want more. I don't know what I want more of. Or what I want at all. Well, I know that I want change. But for some reason I have lost momentum in my life and I don't know how to get going again. That is actually not true, I think it is more accurate to say that I don't know what I want and therefore I'm having a hard time going after it.
How do I find out what I want?

Wedding day

I must admit that I am a little bit exciting about the wedding today...

What I saw today

I also saw loads of other things that I wanted to take pictures of, but the boss was in a foul mood and I hurried home.
Speaking of the bossy one, he has been a total delight this evening and just now we put him to bed while still awake and after a few minutes of chattering he is now fast asleep. It has never happened before. Mainly because we have never put him down like that before. Silly us.

New outfit

One year ago...

...my boyfriend proposed to me on this spot.

What I made this Easter

A hanging toy. He LOVES it and I am very pleased with myself. It's hanging over his changing table in bathroom, but I think I will have to make another one and put it over his bed. The clever thing (if I may say so myself) is that you can remove the toys so that the baby can have a close look (or bite) at them.
