So now its a real team effort. The wife is more or less in full charge of the 3.5 year old who adds a new dimension to the epithet hyper active. He seems laid back about the arrival of a tiny sister but I don't think finds her much fun as yet.She comes well third in a list of exciting things he reported to his nursery well after Grandad's rocket and Grandad's aeroplane. The latter is nowless exciting as one of his friends(?) broke it into two pieces and it is now under repair
Katy E is suffering from something technically known as reflux (don't ask for the finer details) which means she is uncomfortable lying down and is only happy on her fathers chest, more or less horizontal.As she wants to feed all the time the daughter does not get much sleep
Huttonian's role is general backup and especially the task of navigating the wife(in a car of course) through the complicated suburban road network. Canberra is easy to go to the major points of interest but once off the throughways the nightmare begins. The town planners are obsessed with crescents.circuits and cul de sacs and you can easily arrive at a place you had past hours ago and thought you were well rid of. So the technique is to take the long way round in a series of straight lines and then dart through the suburbs on a few a roads as possible. Fortunately the traffic is very light and slow because of obsessively restrictive speed limits which change at bewilderingly short intervals for no apparent reason. The Merse with its familiar and deserted roads will be a great relief (but always remember to dip your lights in Greenlaw) Especially on a Saturday.
