BABIES, BLOCKS AND BLOG READING

Let's start the day with babies!
I got some lovely photos of Bex, Dante and Archer late yesterday:

 ABOVE:  How adorable!  Bex and her boys.  

ABOVE:  Dante is actually happy to hold Archer for a little while now. 

Archer is 1 week old today!  That has gone quite fast I must say.  

ABOVE: This is the block I made last night. It's fairly basic, but I did learn how to join pieces in a different way with this one.
The next one I'm making uses the same technique, where you partly sew a seam, then have to stop so you can get the other bits to join up correctly.  I can't remember what it's called.  Derrr.
But, it's fun.

Once I've got some housework done, I shall be reading a few blogs.  That will probably take me several hours, as I haven't read any in a while.  I have stopped feeling guilty about my irregular blog reading though, cos just keeping mine updated takes enough time most days.  *smiles*  

ONWARD... 

Well... blog reading is taking me less and less time as so many bloggers that I used to read have stopped blogging. 
Sadly, most have either stopped altogether, or moved on to Facebook or similar.

I do both.  I don't Facebook too much though, as I love my little blog too much to leave it.
I think what does sadden me a bit though is when you think you have built up a 'friendship' with a longtime reader and they suddenly just disappear!  Never to blog or comment again.  I find that hard.  

Did they die?  Did they suddenly just hate my blog?  I will never know I suppose.  

Moving on... it's freakin' cold today.  And pissing down with rain.  I've turned the heat pump on, and am sitting here with a blanket around my legs.  I'm in a draft.
Maybe I need to move my computer desk?
But where?  
My options are limited.

*sigh*   time for some lunch (soup from last night).

The midwife called in for Archer's 1 week check up.  He's doing so well!  He's put on weight and his jaundice is slowly going.  Bex is doing an excellent job feeding him.  I'm sure having Steve home to help her in the first week helped heaps.

Steve, Dante and I had a lovely spa late this afternoon... so nice to relax in a warm pool.
Makes you feel rather tired afterwards though.

I've got dinner in the oven, lamb chops in mint sauce and veges.  Yummy.

End of Day:  dinner was, as expected, very yum.  Enjoyed this evening curled up in me warm, electric lounge blankie.  Bliss.
