Today


Kate, Ciara, and me ... enjoying a rhum and coke expertly prepared by Sean. Not just because of the rhum and coke, but because of her mother's good care and her father's doting, Ciara is thriving and continues to be a most agreeable baby. She eats (drinks), sleeps, and is beginning to look around and take longer breaks between sleeps. She is awfully cute!!!
Kate and Sean are both very well. Sean is off on three weeks of paternity leave - such a great idea! He's busy painting a bedroom at the moment, just on time for Jimmy Rhodes and his daugher Alice's impending visit. They're in New Zealand for three weeks, old friends from Kingston. They will be arriving in a few days.
I'm doing some gardening ... of all things!! The kids have a fairly large, terraced garden that is in need of care and attention. They've hired a gardener and I'm supernumerary. I can weed and mow the lawn. Also, last night I planted two trees: a lemon and a lime. Woohoo!
I hope you will enoy this video of Ciara (pronounced 'Keera', in case you've forgotten). It's from at bath time yesterday.
