We’ve just used up half our saving renovating. It’s incredible how much space a baby can take up. We knocked out the walls to the whole side of our house to extend, now we don’t trip over eachother anymore. It's wonderful.
I don’t know why Dave always freaks out when he sees me in the shower. It’s not like he’s never seen me naked before. Maybe he’s just having me on?
Anyway Dave’s offered to stay home with Keira while I take Pippin for a walk to Jane’s place.
‘She’s ready for her nap, are you sure you’ll be ok while I’m gone?’
‘of course I will, we’ll have fun won’t we Keira’
'she'll probably sleep the whole time i'm gone anyway'
‘ok, I’m going now…
….Pippin, here boy…
…and for god’s sake Dave, put some clothes on, it’s the middle of the day’
.................................
‘What are you doing out
here?’
‘nothing much, just looking at the clouds’
‘don’t get up, I’ll sit out here with you’
‘what’s with all that yelling in there…
…..oh no, it’s not Seth and Robbie fighting is it?’
‘lol no they’re actually ok with eachother now since they sat down and had a talk but Seth
is having a fight of sorts….with the shower…he’s trying to repair it, which is why I’m out here’
‘He was cursing and smacking it with a hammer when I last looked…
…….safer out here, he’s still not happy with me so who knows, he might be angry enough to hit ME with it’
‘I really don’t see Seth doing something like they, hey who are the flowers from?’
‘I don’t know? I didn’t even see them there’
‘let’s have a look huh…maybe you have a secret admirer’
‘Hey it’s to Seth’
‘what does it say, what does it say!’
‘
Dear Seth
Romance bloomed between us
As this single flower shows - oh geez it’s a tacky poem
And as I think of you my sweet
My longing for you grows
Signed April!’
‘April! Oh my god, did you know about this?’
‘no I had no idea…I can’t believe she kept something like this from me’
‘I guess they
have been spending a bit of time together lately but I never expected THIS…
….oh April, this is so corny, I never knew she had it in her hahaha’
‘Coming inside? I think Seth has finished fixing the shower, it should be safe to go in now….do you think I should tell him about the flower?’
‘hmmm maybe not, it might embarrass him…hey is that..?’
‘yep’
‘I think he’s stealing your newspaper’
‘he is, he does it everyday…thinks he’s getting to me I suppose…
…what he doesn’t realize is he’s doing me a favour by getting rid of them, no-one reads them so they just sit there going brown….isn’t he the ugliest thing you’ve ever seen’
