Warning, contains babies

So Aoife is lovely! As very new, fast asleep babies go ;p
So here is a pic. And some of the rest of the gaggle of babies I seem to have acquired over the last couple of years. There are more on fotopic, if anyone is interested.

( baby pics, everybody go AWWW )

everyone else is doing it so...

Didn't we do this one before? I'm sure I remember it.

There seem to be a lot of these 'cultural creative's out there, whatever the hell that means. We get nice shiny circles anyway, so it can't be too bad ;p

In which my innner girlie not only gets loose, but goes rampaging thro Mothercare.

So, all my life I have hated all things pink and girlie. Can't stand the stuff, won't wear it or have any truck with it.

Go to Mothercare at lunchtime, cleverly phoning my mother to see what *she* bought so we don't duplicate and asking what Karen actually needs, rather than heading for the sea of Tiny Pink Things ahead of me. Plain and white, I am thinking, practical and sensible.

And then suddenly, from nowhere, OMG THEY HAVE TINY TINY PINK SHOES.
Note I didn't just think this. I squealed it down the phone, stunning my poor mother into silence. However she recovered bravely, said BABYGROS and hung up.

So I bought babygros. Pink ones. And a pink trouser suit thing. And shoes (not pink tho ;p). And a dress - also not pink, lilac. And a blanket (ok yes, a pink one). And a teddy bear.

Karen is going to kill me.

Just a thought...

Seeing that the shooting that guy debate [1] is still going on on flame made me wonder - if he had turned out to be a bomber, would the majority of the people have even considered argueing about it?

(I've mostly skimmed it, so this may have been brought up there already).

I have my own opinions on it, it always just amazes me to see people who see things in such strict Black and White, Good Thing/Bad Thing etc - and thats on both sides of the argument.

There are always Circumstances, and Context and shades of grey.
Or maybe I see too many shades of grey.
hmm.


[1] Yes I could find a better name for it, but its late and its been a long evening.
And I'm footnoting lj posts. Oh dear.
