although robin's just passed the 2 month mark and we're already putting him in his 3-6 month clothes!
which is good in some ways, cause it means he gets to wear a lot of the cool outfits people have bought him, although even some of his 3-6 month stuff is getting a bit small for him...

fringe festival jokes
...as emailed to me by a friend:
Q: Who are the most decent people in the hospital?
A: The ultrasound people.
A lady with a clipboard stopped me in the street the other day.. She
said, "Can you spare a few minutes for cancer research?
I said, "All right, but we won't get much done."
I realised I was dyslexic when I went to a toga party dressed as a
goat.
My dad is Irish and my mum is Iranian, which meant that we spent most
of our family holidays in Customs.
Sleeping with prostitutes is like making your cat dance with you on
its hind legs. You know it's wrong, but you try to convince yourself that
they're enjoying it as well.
You have to remember all the trivia that your girlfriend tells you,
because eventually you get tested. She'll go: "What's my favourite
flower?" And you murmur to yourself: "$hit, I wasn't listening ...
Self-raising?"
The world is a dangerous place; only yesterday I went into Boots and
punched someone in the face.
Cats have nine lives. Which makes them ideal for experimentation.
Got a phone call today to do a gig at a fire station. Went along.
Turned out it was a bloody hoax.
The Butler Report is the political equivalent of saying, "Leave it out
lads, we've all had a drink".
Employee of the month is a good example of how somebody can be both a
winner and a loser at the same time.
I enjoy using the comedy technique of self-deprecation - but I'm not
very good at it.
If you're being chased by a police dog, try not to go through a
tunnel, then on to a little seesaw, then jump through a hoop of fire.
They're trained for that.

spaced
just like with "the office" Bea and i have gotten a little behind with our intake of TV sitcoms and then binged on them after they'd all passed away from you're average license paying viewer's memory.
this time it was the spaced series, having watched both series in about 3 days (between Robin's crying (see later) and me working full time (also see later)), we've become quite avid fans, especially of the enigmatic brian...
have even (pre)ordered the (3 disc) box set from amazon (here) as pictured over there...
you may have also noticed that this is the first blog of mine in a very long time - last time i blogged was robin's 3 week birthday - he's now 7 weeks old today.
have felt that classic "i've not blogged in so long i dont know where to begin" and so dont blog at all.
thought that'd be a good thing to get the ball rolling hopefully.

we're back!
we got back from our 'holiday' yesterday. the weekend at greenbelt was amazing. it was avery different experience with robin but it was fantastic none the less. andy has some refreshing and encouraging thoughts about his relationship with greenbelt which i hope he'll blog about (but otherwise just ask him!).
after greenbelt we stayed with my mum and dad in cheltenham for a week. i found this really relaxing as there were so many extra pairs of hands to help us with robin. robin is still quite colicky and his bum is still sore. we're holding out on the homeopathy and using calendula (great minds think alike, whitney!).
things robin loves:
:: the pat and squat technique!
:: going in the car
:: going in the pushchair
:: rosie thomas
:: his mummy's singing
:: dancing
:: his daddy
:: being held whilst my sister jumps up and down on her bed
:: sleeping in wirly gig
i'm struggling quite a lot with feeling like i can't cope and that i'm failing as a mother. I KNOW THESE ARE NOT TRUE as people keep reminding me but the reality is that i feel them! a good friend kindly mentioned to me that some people may have said that "if there's anything i can do, please let me know" - i can't remember who said that so if you did then please get back in touch. i'm not very good at asking for help because i often don't know what i need but also i don't want to be a burden.
BIG LESSON LEARNT #1: i am not responsible for everything and everyone even though i feel it and act like it. please remind me of this if you notice me slipping into old ways.
