I’m In Love All Over Again!

image

The day I have been waiting for, for, well, 7 months was finally here today!

I was able to meet, hold, cuddle, play with, and generally love my baby nephew, our Finnjabi baby!
Oh how I have longed for this day!

They were over from Finland for a few short days, on the sad business of my brother’s best friend’s funeral, and stayed on a few more days, and we wanted to meet them all, so off we went to London today.

It was a most emotional day for me… I have countless ‘nephews’ and ‘nieces’ via my 6000 (slight exaggeration!) cousins, and their kids, but my Lil Finnjabi is MINE! By that I mean, my real flesh and blood, my brother’s offspring, and I would be lying if I said I wasn’t a tad emotional the moment I saw him!

He looks at people he hasn’t met before, and the sign of approval is a touching of the face, and we all got that from him! But 6 hours wasn’t enough! That’s not even an hour for each month he’s been alive!

We were with him through 2 messy mealtimes, a trip to the park, and bath time.

I wish I could post a photo of him, but like me, his parents are not fans of putting personal pics of children on any media, so I can’t even physically share him with you, but I can describe!

Big, huge brown eyes twinkling from a cute little tanned skinned face, cheeks not so chubby, but enough for you to want to eat them up. A perfect nose and the gummiest smile, showing two teeth, flashing constantly! Shiny brown hair that naturally created a mohican and frames his beautiful face.

He’s a smiler, a giggler, and sitting in his bouncy chair, he waggles his legs manically to bounce himself, and he loves to growl like a bear!

The kids and Hubby Dearest are as infatuated as I am, and when it was time to go, we physically had to tear ourselves away!

But my high light was at the end when I got a few precious moments with him, no sharing, after his bath, and he kept on grabbing my face with his little hands, and pulling me down, so he could kiss/eat my nose, cheeks and lip! My brother managed to get a video of that, it’s so cute!!! As I said in my post title, I’m in love again!!!!

Counting down the next time we meet, which I know will be in October, unless we manage to arrange a trip out to them in August!!!

In other business, the scratch is better, but I definitely twisted my ankle in our dramatic rescue of the Cat Called Sonu Singh, last night, when I fell off the chair!

Silly Saturday

 

A wordy giggle for this morning! Enjoy your weekend all!! 😊 

What A Pallaver!

Oh poor me!!! Oh poor injured me!!!

 

Deep scratch to arm, from barbed wire in the garden, and a bruised shin and twisted ankle… What have I been up to?

Well I can thank my dearest Kitty Sonu Singh for these lovely injuries!

We have recently been discussing the pros and cons of getting a cat flap, as he loves going in the garden. And today he decided it would be a good idea to hop over some fence or another… Thing was we don’t have the cat flap yet, and can’t close the house up until we know he’s back. 

Dinner was on the table, so I told a worried Hubby dearest to eat, we could leave the door open and let him have his exploring time.

But part way through dinner Hubby Dearest couldn’t wait and went to have a look for him. He found him alright, stuck behind the fence at the back of our house. It is a barbed wire fence along the top, and there is brambles and bushes, and a railway line a bit set back. He had somehow climbed over, and hadn’t a clue how to get over again!

Thing is we have no access to that area. What to do? We tried coaxing him, Hubby Dearest was ready with wire cutters to cut the fence down, then I remembered our lovely neighbours mentioning getting behind there before… 

So  a visit to next door, and we had the lovely man from there trying to find Sonu Singh who was not coming out for anyone he didn’t know! Hubby Dearest then went over and after 20 minutes and countless treats we got him!

But not before me scratching myself on the barbed wire, and falling off the chair I was standing on to find him, and Hubby catching himself on wire and brambles too!

Oh, and don’t ask me about the kids, who were worried sick!

Thankfully that little monkey is back home now…

 

Looking a bit sheepish, he is now! And goodness knows what fleas he’ll have picked up!!! 

I envisage waking tomorrow to many aches and pains!! 

Not great considering I am meeting my baby nephew for the first time too tomorrow!!!!! 
Oh Sonu Singh, what am I going to do with you??!!

Friday Funny!

Opened an unsuspecting post, and what should I find in it??!! Another sneaky award nomination, from my blog sis Erika! Thank you, you wonderful woman! Love you lots! And you really deserve this award, so I am so happy you got it! Please Peeps, if you haven’t checked it out already, go visit Erika’s blog!!!!Β  She has nominated me for the Sisterhood of the World Bloggers Award, and If I could, I’d nominate her right back!

The rules:

Thank the giver and link their blog to your post.
Answer the 10 questions given to you.
Pass the award on to other bloggers of your choice and let them know that they have been nominated.
Include the logo of the award in a post or on your blog.

The questions for me to answer

If resources were unlimited, would you rather have every book ever written, or every movie, or every song?

Every book written, as I could imagine the movies through the words, and sing songs or hum music to my self!

What’s something fictional that you wish was real or could be real someday?

No brainer! The edible room in Charlie and the Chocolate factory, as per the Gene wilder version of the film!!!

If you had to change identities and start over: would you be someone completely different or about the same.

I think the person I am right now, is the person I’d want to be… maybe I might have handled situations differently, or gone about things a different way, but I am pretty happy being me!

When watching a good movie at home, what do you eat and or drink?

I have to say I love a coke, and sweet popcorn, freshly popped, or crisps, chocolate… heck, I’d eat anything!!

When reading a good book, what do you eat or drink?

Very little as I am usually pretty engrossed in the book, but I always have water by my side, and may nibble on sweets or crisps…

What’s your favorite slang term (explain it please)?

Innit!! Meaning Is it not? as in an agreement, very London and Essex, a term that seems to have been adopted by the West London and Essex Indians! I would say it all the time when at university, and though I have trained myself not to now, (not that professional, is it?!) I still have to say it!!!

What’s currently your favorite hashtag?

Sorry, I am a bit old school not up to date with hashtagging!

If your life story was going to be told would you want to: publish a diary or journal, write your autobiography, or hand-pick someone to write your biography for you?

I think I would have to write it myself, there is too much to sit and go through with someone else, and only I know how I felt at any one time!

What do you seek long-term: fame and or influence, wealth, or happiness?

Easy peasy! Happiness is key!

What’s one topic you don’t like to discuss with the public (you’d rather just keep it private or intimate)?

The nitty gritty of my relationship, and personal family information….

Domesticated Momster
Idiot Writing
Pint Sized Fiction
