It's a slow news day here

in sunny Barcelona. The good news is that the gestational diabetes test came back negative which is such a relief! However I did get a proper telling-off from the nurse for being veggie. She acutally asked what I eat if I don't eat meat? My iron isn't low now but they are trying to prevent it from becoming very serious in the next few months... it's all a big yawn if you ask me... They gave me iron pills to take with orange juice - my favorite... NOT-. Ah well it's for the baby. Bring on the tofu!

Friday is a most welcome thing this week for me as I am exhausted and feeling guilty for not working harder... swimming and resting will be taken care of this weekend.

Here is a darling pic of miss lilli at Eric's b'day bbq a few weeks ago!

Just one of the reasons why I love my mum!

She wrote me an email today and here is a little excerpt

'I am cooking a huge roast of beef in the slow cooker for dinner this evening - you would be revolted by the size of it but there are no eyes or feet visible so it is okay with me.'

She is too cute for words! And I wonder why I'm veggie?

When I was little... or not even that little... I remember straining out the ground beef from my lasagna... painfully separating the beef from the sauce... little did I know at that point that there was an alternative... Smart of my mum for not offering it to me at that point.

My sprog on the other hand, will have her own choice in the matter... she can eat nothing but carbs and 'comida de basura' or she can eat normal carnivorous fayre with her father... But don't you doubt I'll be passing on the straining the beef from the tomato sauce technique that I mastered. It's only fair!

Happy almost Hallowe'en!

Lilli is sporting her fashionable dog jumper sent over to her by her favorite Canadian doggie friend Elmo.

To be honest I think she is more interested in eating the orange fluff around the sleeves rather than wearing it but we convinced her that she would get more blog exposure if she agreed to put it on!



Thank you auntie Lisa and Elmo!!!!

xoxoxo Lilli

there are some things

that are so enigmatic that even when coupled with a rock steady beat the song is still pure class. Wicked game by Chris Issak is one of them. We're all grooving out to it in the studio here this afternoon. We all agree that you can't hear the song without enjoying a beautiful memory of that video that they made for it. Ahh Helena Christensen's eyes were just haunting!



Reminds me once how when I was working down in South Ken we saw her walk by the building that we worked in... She was decidedly orange but her eyes still beautiful. The hands of time didn't seem to be very kind to her... but I've seen print pictures of her since that are much more flattering than her in person... Perhaps photoshop is her best friend?
