Just read this article and found it rather amusing. When I was younger, I wanted to call my daughter Alchemy, because my dad always used to have Dire Straits on when he took me to school and one of their albums is called Alchemy and I quite liked the sound of that word. When I found out what the word meant, I liked it even more. Of course I'm not gonna call my child Alchemy cos she/he would probably be harassed by their peers, but I still like the word.

I'm a lot more sensible now. I like Maya, Madeline and Samantha. ;D In other news, but still related to babies, Oliver has become rather fond of a Kerrygold carrier bag my mum got in the post. If he wants to play with Barbies he can too. I'm not sure what's worse: him liking Barbies, or the violence he inflicts upon them - but since he is a dog, I don't have to worry! But maybe I'll change the channel when Tom & Jerry comes on - proper violence, that show.

Today's song is the song we listened to everyday on the way to school:

It just hit me, that was ten years ago. :-/

Love,
