so apart from me injuring my child perhaps the weirdest news of all is the weather! Remember I was telling you how hot it was? Well this was the view from our window last night. It rained most of the day too but it’s still warm. And here i was about to put away my Uggs and bring out the Havaianas. In other news, Evo’s doing well…and my sister turned 29 on Monday. As with every celebration in Cyprus, the barbecue was prepared and meat was on the menu. Below is papa getting the chicken with yoghurt ready. Yummy.
birthday
there’s a reason I’ve been away from the computer. i’ve been a bad mummy. on monday, just as I was rushing around to get Georgie ready for my sister’s birthday party I caught his fingers in the corner of the door. Ouch! I know! I still can’t think about it without feeling sick. Thankfully it wasn’t serious- apparently even if he had broken a bone, there’s nothing you can do about it. He screamed for half an hour, I cried more and then he was fine! Such a brave little boy. I’ll be posting a few pictures from Emilia’s party later on today.xxx
on Friday my brother turned 24! We threw him a sort of impromptu surprise party which he really appreciated despite saying he hates surprises. I mean, who hates surprises???After dropping Georgie off at grandma’s I turned up the volume on my new Black Keys album and got ready. New Rolling Stones t-shirt on display!i was in charge of the decorations…but obviously not very observant when it came to picking them out! It turns out i also need work in photographing surprise parties because I failed to get my brother’s expression when he walked in. Happy birthday bro!xxx
There is a point in everybody’s life when things change. Life changes. There is a single point when a switch just goes off and you are thrown. This is exactly what I felt like the very next morning Georgie was born. Looking at him I freaked out. Reality hit me hard. I was knackered, mourning the loss of my ab muscles and being helped by a stranger – nurse- into the shower and then into my knickers. But amidst the sore nipples and already sleepless nights I marveled. I marveled at something. Up until that moment I had never experienced such an overwhelming urge of intense feelings for anything. The Alps were impressive and going to New York Fashion Week was beyond real but looking down on this picture of perfection I was gone.
