I start work tomorrow as a midwife on the postnatal ward at Epworth Freemasons' Hospital, East Melbourne. Our alarum is set for 5am. FIVE AM! Good grief! I'm scary to encounter at 5am. I don't think the alarum will sound. I'll awaken at 8 or 9, and be super late. How does anybody awaken at 5am? And the day after that, too! And the day after that!!! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

I didn't know you're a midwife! I'm not, but being a breastfeeding consultant AND having 4 babies in 3 different countries AND having spent 4 months on bedrest surrounded by midwives, AND helped delivering my friend's baby, I feel I know a lot about it. :-)
Good luck with your job! (and the getting up at 5AM...)

Hello! It's been a while since I have posted... And I cannot control this process! "It" chose this photograph, of lovely Benjamin and me, which is good, since I suppose it could have chosen anything at all?

This is Jonathan, who has lived all his life in Kosovo. Eowyn & Coco loved his company. My ailment has now been with me for 3 weeks. I just watched http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ihuv5z6nqWw and was much amused. I don't think anybody reads these blogs any more. The only people who comment on mine are Bens and me. Hello! Is there anybody out there? (or is it in there?) I have become comfortably numb... Bit depressed, methinks.

1. What song am I singing in this photo? 2. What is (/would be) your favourite song to sing for Karaoke? Can't wait to read your answers! For some reason I have this burst of childlike enthusiasm. The first crocuses of the season popped their purple heads out of Earth today and said HI! Nana loved her first crocuses each winter, and would get so excited about them, and that the days were gradually getting longer, and that there was this ONE warmish day in the middle of January - her eyes would gleam as she talked joyously... She was such an example of finding beauty in sorrow, light in the long winter, a smile in response to my frown... Bless her heart.
