There is evidently not much interest in OZ affairs judging from a drop in Blog viewing figures. New visitors are obviously expecting a rant about the Merse which is difficult to do from directly down under. Huttonian can always rave on about the beautiful peaceful and somnolent second grand daughter but there is little to say except that she is b, p and very s. Coaxing smiles is beginning to have an effect and her little face lights up when she hears big brother's voice. Big brother remains sweet and caring but there are moments of ambivalence when he clearly resents the attention being given to KE. But on the whole he tolerates her with an impressive maturity. When she is old enough to grab his toys may be a bit different.
A week more in Oz and then back to the Merse via Melbourne. The wife remains in a support position for a further ten days. So the rant can again focus on things local. In the meanwhile the Aussie accent is inevitable.
A bit of street cred lost today with cabbage leaf lady at Spence Shops. Huttonian sent to purchase an intimate piece of female attire returned with the wrong item. A confusion between Maternity and Nursing. The wife returned the offending garment and got a refund but Huttonian has a lot of ground to make up at the (sole)checkout.
