A sad day…
It actually started out – once we finally left the house – with a nice bit of retail therapy. I was on the hunt for a wrap for Dexter with separate pockets for his arms, he’s such a Houdini. The baby shop at Magill didn’t have them, they didn’t even know what I was talking about, so I went across the road to the hippy shop and bought a Swaddlebees nappy – a pocket with snaps, like the blue green and brown one here: http://swaddlebees.com/
I also bought some Weleda nursing tea, which tastes ok with milk and sugar. It tastes aniseed-y and faintly of celery. I don’t actually have any supply issues, quite the opposite, but it’s nice to have it as an alternative to coffee/tea.

We then went to Norwood for lunch and a browse in the second hand children’s clothes shops. I was looking for something for Dexter, but ended up with a Seed t-shirt and Tommy Hilfiger shorts. Very cute.
The sad part was going to visit someone I knew five years ago. It was sad because I thought I had closure on that part of my life, but to be told that things were worse than I realised for the person I visited, dragged up a lot of negative emotions.
Oh, and a measure of how sleep deprived I am? I microwaved half a latte cup of milk with the spoon left in it this morning. Fortunately the microwave survived and it wasn’t until I couldn’t find the spoon that I realised what I’d done.
