- Maggie examines the large koru tattoo on her father's calf, tracing it with her finger and repeating Look, Daddy, a SNAIL! You gotta SNAIL in your LEG!
- A card from Urs and Em, who love the stripey baby duds I sent, and a photo of the happy family in the bush.
- Even though A&E's ridiculously busy even for a Saturday night, a nurse takes the time to bring us some bubble mixture to entertain Maggie with. M's delighted, especially when she finally gets the hang of blowing them herself, working out just how much puff she needs, which takes more finesse than you realise.
- Late that evening, M's pronounced well enough to be taken home. When we get in, I check the voicemail: there's a message from my sister asking me in an excited voice to ring her as she has some news.
- The next morning, as soon as the hour is decent (enough), I ring Ruth. So what's the news? – I'm pregnant! – I KNEW it!
- Merridy has made two-year-old Timmy a Timmy-from-Shaun the Sheep birthday cake covered with white marshmallows, with paper cut-outs for his head and limbs. Simple, and really clever.
- After a cool start, the morning sun turns suddenly hot and Timmy's guests are able to clamber excitedly into togs and ride the Zoom slide in the back garden.
