We have had a very chilled weekend apart from clients phoning me at 7am, a bloke hijacking my table in coffee shop and the urge to organise everything. Myself and nanti went to the movies for the first time in 2 years! we went to see Angels and Demons. it is good movie, although not totally sticking to the book, it is great cinematography. the art was just great, being a bit of a history of art nut, i really appreciated the cathedrals, sculptures etc. one day when i am all grown up i'll go and have a look at them myself.

We are planning to travel europe when Rebecca is about 2 years old. we want to see all the cathedrals, churches, crypts, museums, proper italian opera, art and of course kiss under the eiffel tower! ha ha, very corny i know. but what the hell, when in paris...

my brothers and parents and most of my friends have all been abroad and nanti has travelled abroad (into deep dark africa)several times, but i haven't. i have been in all sorts of interesting places in south africa and namibie, but can't wait to go abroad. we now have some time to save and do a proper tour for about 3 weeks.

I must admit that as Rebecca's due date comes closer I have the weirdest urge to make lists for everyone, packing and re-packing cupboards and disposing of unused items. If you stand still in my house you will either get packed away or put in the bin. With Isabella i never had this hectic nesting effort, but with this pregnancy it is really bad.

I am taking maternity leave as from next week monday to relax a bit before she makes her appearance, but i cannot promise anyone that i'll actually relax. i must also admit that i am a bit more relaxed now that i have Paula and Lauren who will be manning the office and playing gate keepers while i am on leave. i made the mistake of only taking one week's maternity leave when Isabella was born - not cool and definately not recommended. you won't get nominated for a Nobel prize or get a medal.
