Oh, I had a shit day yesterday. Too many months of worry have got to me finally. I had a huge work deadline that I couldn't get right, and I had to face the horrible truth that I was trying to fix Luke when all along it's me I should... |

| Perriwinkle Lobi
28 July 08
I went to Pick n Pay in Pinelands in a filthy mood, and the cashier's name was Perriwinkle! What a wonderful name. It cheered me up straight away. Her mother gave her a flower name because she has one (Daisy). Her full name is Perriwinkle Lobi.
I wanted to take... |

| Luke in the Floral Bonnet
24 July 08
And here, to pique your curiosity, is Luke wearing the floral bonnet. Is he waiting for the bus to take him to the Tuesday morning Ladies service? I THINK NOT. I think Jenny and Bev are fondly mocking him.
His catastrophising scares me half to death. I don't know when he... |

Here is a picture of famous artist Jenny Parsons wearing her new floral bonnet. It isn't finished yet, but it will be shortly. It is a bathing cap for when she leads the synchronised ladies swimming team at Dalebrook Pool next summer.

Remember when your mother told you not to eat junkfood? She was wrong. In 1996 I won a car because I was a bad mother, and decided to buy KFC instead of feeding my kids a wholesome homecooked meal.

Hopefully next year it will translate into money, but you never know.
Luke is nice and relaxed and... |

| Back in Hospital
08 July 08
Poor old Luke is back in hospital. He's had diarrhoea for days, and tummy cramps and low blood pressure and a urinary tract infection, and he's so miserable.
So he's gone back in to be put on a drip and looked after. He's supposed to start round 2 of the... |

| Chernobyl of the Soul
04 July 08
Luke has lost 12 kg and he is COLD. It's freezing here in Cape Town, and he's cold all the time. So now he has taken to dressing like a Russian.
Pete sent him this fine rabbit fur Chernobyl helmet and he's wearing my red winter coat, cunningly belted around... |

01 July 08
Here is today's haul from my Pink shopping expedition. They're all from the Salvation Army charity shop. I like the doll a lot. She is a handless maiden. And the platter is carnival wear, I think, and is very collectible.
The embroidered lappies are there to be made into little... |
