My love, the sexiest man in the world, he-who-can-fix-anything, came home this afternoon after a night of being on call and a morning of attacking the encroaching rainforest on our lot in Santa Cruz. His new toy is a mega-strimmer with metal-blade attachment. He brought me some sore throat losenges, and bread.
I whined and snotted in his general direction, which I am sure made him really think "gee, I am so glad I came home to my sexy gorgeous wife." I pointed him in the direction of the ham, having not cooked the delicious Sunday spread which he deserved. He then repaired the oven, and entertained the kids, and swept the yard. Then he went back to work. He's a star.
Tomorrow I will be heading to work early, and will try to fill an order in record time. This is the time of year when I say "I will not take any last-minute Christmas orders, it is too stressful" but then I take them anyway because, ya know, THE MONEY!
And I can then go and buy Sean a really nice prezzie to put under the tree!
This website was invented many years ago, when the author kept coming across interesting things in pockets whilst doing laundry. Like small, terrified reptiles. Blogging about raising children in the rainforest, moving them to the UK and watching them leave home one by one to have their own adventures has gradually been replaced by a return to grownup life for their mother, Nan Sheppard, who is an anthropologist, writer and public international law consultant.

Do you know that Blogger/Google no longer lets you link to outside sites when you comment? You have to create a Blogger acount now. For what to do, check out Suburban Oblivion This is not my site, but I hate those word verification things on Blogger anyway. No linky love is just being mean of Google.
Pee Ess: Happy to hear about your oven repair, and hope the snot is lessening. Is that even a word?

Hi, Leticia, thank you! I will check out your site later but my Portuguese is VERY basic! All courtesy of Astrid Giberto. As long as you are singing about strumming your guitar, I'll get it! I guess I need a Portuguese dictionary now!
Thanks, witchypoo. I thought either my server or Blackberry was having a crisis, I will check out that site too. Saved!
