baby is all grown up

Babycake started nursery this week. I took him for an introductory visit on Tuesday morning for a couple of hours. I took him for another brief visit this morning, and I've left him there, all alone, for an hour. I am now in the unusual position of trying to enjoy a cup of coffee without him, but I can't stop thinking about him and whether he is going to get really upset at some point. I guess he better get used to it because he starts proper next week. Poor little thing.

preparing for the new baby with technology

The new baby is due in about six weeks and Mrs McMuffin is rushing around like a blue-arsed fly trying to get everything sorted, whether they need to be sorted or not. She has set herself an impossible list of tasks, and I am pretty sure that she is never going to have the time to give The Eiffel Tower that quick lick of paint that it so badly needs. Me, on the other hand, has made sure that our technology is running smoothly and that we have a decent camera to film the whole event. I thought it was time to update the little Sanyo Xacti that we got just before Babycake was born. Well, I managed to persuade Mrs McMuffin that we should get ourself a new model, and have plumped for the Xacti HD700. It arrived today and although I haven't had much time to play with it, I am very pleased. The movies look great in almost dazzling 720p HD, with the usual proviso about these little machines, they don't work well in poor light. Having said that, this one is much better than the last one we had. It also takes 7.1 MP still photos which are pretty good too. I am now debating with myself about selling the Sony T200 that I got a few months ago. It is a lovely camera but do we need two?

Anyway, this birth will now be filmed in glorious HD. Mrs McMuffin is soooo looking forward to that.

well, I never

Our car got hit by a fire engine last night. The firefighters were extremely apologetic and so keen to take responsibility that it was almost a pleasure for our car to be smashed by them. This morning, parking attendants are out in force and as our wheels were on a kerb, I can't help wondering if the two are connected and a way of wriggling out of liability. We shall see.

Babycake decided that sleep was for wimps last night (I think he's cutting some painful back teeth) and from 2am until he fell asleep at 5.30am, I was treated to his thoughts about Spiderman, Daddy, wine and 'bo's. Lucky me.
