Hi there

You know when you need to email someone, a friend you haven't emailed for ages, and the longer you take to email, the harder it is to do because you feel you need to write a long letter instead of a short note to make up for the fact that you haven't written for so long, but there is nothing really newsworthy to fill that long letter?

That is how I feel right now with this blog.

So to sidestep all that awkwardness, I will instead ponder just what it is about old ladies that leads them to make stupid comments about my kids. This is prompted by one such old lady in the supermarket today, who asked if Téo and Lukan were twins.

It's true that a chubby toddler can look disconcertingly big compared to a leaner older sibling, but still. Twins?

Three years ago an old lady in the park asked the same question about Téo - and an African girl. At least in that instance the two children were the same general size and shape. But nevertheless I'm thinking the old ladies need better glasses.

Now, back to that awkwardness. Well actually, back to never say never... at the end of December I opined to friends on how I didn't really see the point of Facebook and Twitter and does everyone really need to know every thought that enters my head and anyway where do people find the time for all this updating and following of thoughts? But, ahem, as some of you may have noticed, I have been a little bit active on Facebook lately. BUT this is only beause I have nothing very interesting to blog about. So, ah, if nothing is happening over here, and you are wondering what's up, then maybe there'll be something over there. Next thing you know, I'll be tweeting too.
