Long time no blog

First of all I want to say thank you to all the people who commented on my Titus 2 post. I apreciate the time people have taken to give thoughtful and helpful comments.

Things seem to have been pretty busy round here lately. One thing which is currently taking up time is sitting on hold to our car insurance company. A slate fell off our roof and hit the back of our car in the recent bad winds. We had told the landlord (via the estate agent) that there were loose tiles a couple of years ago but they are very slow at dealing with things (I don't know whether it's the landlord or the estate agent that makes everything take so long) so it hasn't been dealt with. The longest I have waited on the line was 2 1/2 hours and I can now tell you that their music loop lasts for 35 minutes before repeating itself. Well, as the days are going on and I still haven't been able to get through I'm going to write to them instead. It is a bit frustrating as we had not even had the car back from the garage a week after our friends' gate fell on it but I am thankful that I happened to look out of the window just when the slate fell down otherwise we might not have realised for a while. I'm even more thankful that we were not underneath when the slate fell off and have decided that it is sensible not to take Baby Girl for a walk in the back yard if it is windy.

A more exciting development since I last blogged is that Baby Girl has started properly eating food. She had been eating small pieces for a few weeks mainly I think by accident if they just happened to go out of the back of her mouth rather than the front but this last week she has been actively eating quite a bit. Yesterday at tea time she ate four raisins and 1 1/4 grapes. :o)

Well I'd better get that insurance letter written...
