Butch

The ruse before the Baby Shower
A few weeks ago Megha asked me about organizing a baby shower for Lamia. I had thought about it myself, but I admit I was super happy when Megha came to me without having to start asking around. Megha:...

The Baby Shower
So my job was done. I had helped here and there and I had maneuvered an unwitting Lamia into the room where the baby shower took place. The surprise was a full success! Lamia: You should have told me!...

Two photos
Two photos I forgot to share when I took them shortly after each other on August 11. First, this photo of a gecko which is sitting on the other side of the window. It’s a small one and since then has...

Moving into the mezzanine
Men were at work today in the house: Oskar and I assembled the Sniglar changing table for his brother. Sniglar is not a great looking changing table, but it’s the most practical one IKEA has, costs...

If I buy more coffee, maybe next time I get a car?
So yesterday I had a notification in the mailbox to pick up a delivery at the next POP Station. I thought this might be my online order from Speedo, because *heck* I have been trying to find new swim...

Waiting for grand-mère…
This morning Fely was flying in and Lamia left the house around 6:30 to pick her up (this has to remind everyone of two years ago, when Lamia was highly pregnant, too, and picked up her parents though...

Weird visitors
Lamia noticed a funny, motionless thing at a ceiling corner of her bathroom today. Looking up to the ~2.60 m ceiling to me this looked first like rather large, longish, black eggs that some insect left...

Ich muss das mal los werden…
Wenn ich dieser Tage die Nachrichten lese und gucke graust es mir. Vielleicht sollte ich nicht die Kommentare lesen, die man unter den Artikeln auf tagesschau.de oder zeit.de finden kann – die sind...

Make your pie face
Pie Face seems to be a restaurant chain that sells “Australia’s favourite pies” and they advertise in Singapore a lot at the moment. It’s not like I link Australia with pies, to be honest, but this...

Thomas Elliot Matteo
I give you, the latest addition to the family. 51 cm tall and a whopping 3.6 kg. It’s funny: even when you think that you are prepared for it, you are never prepared. And we knew that. So we were not...

Baby show off

Brothers
One of the big questions we had was: how would Oskar react to his new baby brother? This afternoon we had the two meet for the first time… … and it went well. Oskar even dared a kiss. I look at this...
