I have a few minutes before it's time to pop up to the school and collect the girls. For the first time in my life, I attended a parents' association meeting there this morning - and, as you do, found myself signing up to be Eowyn's class rep, a role primarily involving coordination of social events for grade 3 parents. A lovely mom invited Eowyn to join the Cheetahs basketball team, which practices after school today. I hope she wants to, as it will be fun, and Coco has a friend in a team she could join. (She'll like the name of Eowyn's team!) I just applied for a job at the Action Centre in downtown Melbourne - it's a place offering services to teens, around  sexual health issues - Seren told me about it. There are small groups i could facilitate, and educational roles I could fill. The Australian  Government is very kindly paying me an allowance but not requiring me to be actively pursuing work, because I have been diagnosed with depression and anxiety. It

Thank you Auntie Seren for creating Coco's excellent CHEETAH CAKE!!!!!!

...what a delightful party! And in the middle of it, news which filled us all with wonder, Martha Jane Avery Jones is safely here in the world! Hurrah! Cosette Josephine and Martha Jane Avery are both born on Ground Hogs' Day!! We enjoyed celebrating our lovely girl, surrounded by wonderful friends, and brilliant family, and the joy of Martha's arrival!
