Some random thoughts

Two of my favourite women - Angelina Jolie and Gwen Stefani - are about to drop their sprogs. Both of them still look amazing though in the way that only celeb pregnant women seem to be able to do. I have to wonder whether they are suffering the usual pregnancy woes such as varicose veins, arse grapes and stretchmarks - I guess we'll never know.

I'm about to go away for 3 nights and 3 days for a work related conference. I hate having to go away for work or courses. I miss my own bed, my husband, my dog and my Internet connection (not necessarily all in that order!). It's all such a faff to try to remember to pack everything you need, taking clothes for any eventuality, all your toiletries and products etc. Interestingly though the case that I take for anything up to a week away is the same case that I take for one of our famous Cardiff nights out - equally full.

I think I caught the sun today. My face feels tight, and I have a distinctly browner skin tone. The other people that I went for a walk with are notoriously pale skinned so they'll either be lobsters or milk bottles tomorrow, depending on how (un)lucky they are.

I'm wearing a pashmina. Mr Naked insists on calling it a peshwari. Sigh.

Jack is lying behind me on the sofa as I type this. He keeps kicking me - I have half of one arse cheek and a third of the other on the sofa, and a laptop in my knees. He's resting his head on my back though which is sweet - awww. We get the result of his second blood test tomorrow but I won't be here - I feel like a bad mother :( Fingers crossed for him.

There. I think I've written enough to make up for not having the opportunity to blog for a few days. Speak to you soon!
