I hope this isn’t going to turn into a fail blog, but when looking up “Sweetness, The Patisserie”, I found this…

A day at the farm
Lunch Al Fresco. Malle cooked a gorgeous curry with fresh veggies from the garden, we had a pre-lunch snack of fresh figs straight from the tree, and dessert was a gorgeous apple tart (with apples from the orchard of course!).

Curls!
Oscar and Inigo having an adventure
Oscar wins the shoe! 
We should have called him Herb
A post prandial stroll
Unfortunately I was too lazy to get the camera when we were chatting to the cows, but I got to stand in the paddock next to one of the cows as she was having a snack. I’ve patted a cow before, but it’s really quite an experience to be right there with no fence between you and her. Millie is quite big, David estimates that she is about 500kg!
Websudoku Fail II
Middle box, left hand side.
That’s pretty bad. I really don’t play this game much, so the failure rate IME (in my experience) is pretty high!
Just like his father
Passed out with a laptop on his belly…
What’s better than a day at the park?
Birth Options
There is a review of maternity services in Australia, and soon private indemnity insurance will not be available to homebirth midwives, and the Government has decided not to cover them.
Essentially, this rules out homebirth as an option for Australian women.
Now, you might think, “who would want a homebirth, it’s dangerous!”, but in European countries where homebirth is routine (about 30%), maternal and infant mortality is the same (or lower) than it is here.
I would not have been able to give birth to Inigo at home, and if I ever had another child, I don’t think that homebirth would necessarily be the right choice for that birth, but I definitely want that choice to be available to other women. Birthing in a hospital definitely makes you appreciate “what could have been”.
So if you have a minute, please sign the petition here.
Thanks to Big Green Coat for reminding me to post about this.

Three Beautiful Boys
Inigo and Toto
Boo and Inigo
The gorgeous Fe came over for a Majong night the other week, and brought her beautiful young men. We don’t have nearly enough of this family in our lives, and it was just amazing to see the boys with Inigo. Two better role models could not be hoped for.
iPhone Software Upgrade
Macworld wrap-up of the Apple media event here.
But my burning question – will it support text via mac, ala Blue Phone Elite? Or even a bluetooth keyboard? (Though I much prefer using the Mac itself, and the phone as a dumb transmission tool). I’m too old to train my thumbs like the young people, just so I can send a text message of more than one syllable.
