Sac Magic

Bulging at their faux leather and polyester seams, two bags lie by the door waiting to make a life changing journey. They contain various seemingly ordinary items, chocolate bars, heat magazine, maternity pads(???), to help their carriers along on a voyage to discovery. A voyage no doubt destined to stall at the first hurdle, as the bags currently prevent the door opening wide enough to allow the currently “Extra Large Value Pack Katie” to pass through unhindered.

But packed and ready they are. I had been lead to believe that they were a myth and that noone ever got round to packing them. But we have. I won't go into detail, as it's pretty dull. Needless to say, if we're in there for a very short space of time, we've got far too much stuff, and if we're in there any longer than 2 day's we're gonna need to call Argos Additions to deliver more velour tracksuits. Although I think in Lewisham they are only available to buy in bulk. At 9 months pregnant, bulk is not a problem.


She's holding out very well. Better than Daddy I think. She's doing everything perfectly. She looks impeccable. She's watching what I'm typing.


She's my wife, and a mummy, and I love her.


She's still watching.

Con Alert

While we're on the subject of everyday items that have been shrunk to tiny person size, I thought I'd take the opportunity to show off another "little" gift!


Sized to fit small people between 3 and 6 months.
Special thanks to Ian and Katie for this very stylish gift.

Toshiba will hopefully take after its mother when it comes to fashion. Father has, sadly, the dress sense of a blind 80's circus sawdust sweeper.

A Little Relish with that?

In the heart of South East Londinium, there is swaggering band of (fake) moustache sporting sportsman, who between them form the Gentleman's Relish Amature Cricket Club (G.R.A.C.C).

It's numbers have swollen by one today, after the presentation, by Lady Carolyn Rushforth, of the first (un)official item of the GRACC Junior Members clothing range.

(Remote control not included, added for scale purposes only)
(Pattern available on request)

Be sure to come and see it in it's full baby covering glory at any of our matches this year.
