Urgh, and Gosh!

Still not fully better, though on the way. Begone phlegm! Am miles behind on comments, for which I offer many apologies, I had two days to finish the report from hell and every spare waking moment was devoted to same. Such an enjoyable mix with flu! The next few days promise a little ease, and catch-ups.

In Gosh! news, J's work colleague did not appear on Monday, his wife had given birth on Saturday, to an one-month premmie baby that she had no idea she was carrying. She's a normal, well-educated nurse. This last part was helpful, since the baby came quickly and they delivered it at home. They had been trying for a baby for a very long time, so it was very welcome, if quite the shock.

With one of those twists that you read about in trashy mags, their one earlier pregnancy was a stillbirth, and they go to visit the grave every Father's Day, which was the Sunday just past in Australia. So the day before, when they were readying themselves for the visit, surprise parenthood!

I have offered the names of contacts from said trashy mags if they want to sell the story to pay for all of those things that most parents spend several months acquiring. Though they could just be like my father when he took me home after his marriage to my mother broke up and popped me in his sock drawer (sans socks) with a pillow and some blankies. It was to be just until he could organise a cot, as things turned out, I was big enough for a little girl bed by the time I left the sock drawer. Didn't do me any harm, though I am very short compared to the rest of my family, but I think that was long periods of childhood vegetarianism and veganism.

Mother and baby are both doing well. Mother and father are very happy, though very startled.
