If anyone was wondering, the critter did reappear in a bold 3 metre scuttle to the jetmaster. I sent James after it but once again, it had somehow mysteriously vanished. Whether one puts this down to most mens' complete and stunning inability to see what is staring them up the nostril or to the fact that a noo-noo has more lives than a cat- I don't know.
I am cross. I have spent about the last hour looking for my blackberry cable to connect my phone to this computer to share pics and the whole box of blackberry goodies is missing in action. I have a horrible suspicion that someone has thrown it away. Either that or it is in the same mysterious place that the noo-noo vanished to- though I cannot think what he would need a USB cable for. But they do say that bugs are getting more sophisticated these days. Great mysteries. I hate, hate hate not being able to find my things.
Tomorrow I return to bookclub- once again with my books unread. I have 430 pages left of the Count of Monte Cristo. Luckily, no one seems to be terribly serious about the books.
I am also signing up for the next term of swimming. The Winter term. I am not sure, given that we go at 8 in the morning, whether this consititutes a heart-warming display of maternal dedication or eye-watering stupidity. Anyway, they have all but promised me that if we keep up at this rate, Christopher will be self-sufficient in the water by 2 years old. This is what motivates me. Hopefully, the warmth of my duvet will not be a greater, opposing motivational force. But- Christopher being self sufficient in the water is huge for me and will be celebrated with much jubilation when we get there. Though I would still never leave him alone around water it will hopefully go some way to watering down my rampant paranoia.
My treasures today: the beautiful peach coloured Just Joey roses in front of me. The poor rose bush fell over after the rains we had because it was too heavy with roses. So off they had to come and they are so pretty and so fragrant on my dining room table.
Also- A Keedo 50% off sale where I picked up some gorgeous things for Christopher. Thanks to my mother-in-law for alerting me.
Sneaking in to Christopher's room to watch him sleep and stroke his hair and listen to him breathing.
"I could lie awake just to hear you breathing
Watch you smile while you are sleeping
While you're far away dreaming
I could spend my life in this sweet surrender
I could stay lost in this moment forever
Every moment spent with you
Is a moment I treasure..."
