General update

There hasn't been much to report for the last couple of days: I went back to DJs and exchanged Graham's pants, bought myself a new dressing gown (size XL, but then dressing gowns don't need to fit) and for Louka some singlets and (as we had a nappy leak) a pair of pants. Six people in a row assumed Louka was a boy: I'm going to have to dress her in pink and put ribbons in her hair.

This afternoon she had her first bath with dadsy. Great fun for both of them.

For dinner I made (with Graham's help) pasta with pumpkin, chorizo, tomato sauce and basil. This was based on my hazy memory of a dish served at Tongue and Groove restaurant at the Junction, Newcastle - and very nice it was.
