Another update

It's been a while since I updated Moo's progress, so here's a potted one before I head to work on a shift pattern that has been decimated due to a pending trial, which, my gut tells me, may not actually go ahead. But I will stand corrected...

Moo is now 11 months, and for the last month she's been walking with more and more stability. She now flies about the house with huge confidence and fewer and fewer falls, and when she does fall now, she can land well, dusts herself off and carries on.

She has a cold just now, which results in daytime green snot-caterpillars and night-time coughing as the phlegm settles in her chest - not fun for the wee mite, and it plays havoc with everyone's sleep. As it's viral, there's nothing that can really medicate it, so steam and patience is the order of the day.

To watch her learning, and to see her little tricks like hiding behind her blanket and peeking out with a beaming smile on her face just makes my day - it's a real joy to see.

New Mum is a real trooper too, having not been well herself recently, and having to cope on my late shifts alone. She has such a good way with the little one and is a fantastic mum - Moo couldn't ask for a better one!

Work is interesting having just changed to a new department, I now have a "remit" to deal with primarily, and it's like starting again. Good new challenge though and one that I am enjoying.

The G20 has been blogged about sufficiently elsewhere, but what I would say is that there appears to be a lot of people carrying out a trial by media, and proclaiming guilt before all the facts are established. If the Police did that with regard to upcoming trials that are sub judice, the proceedings would collapse and we'd be hung out to dry. Through all of this, cops still are putting their lives on the line daily to intervene where others don't/won't/can't, and will continue to do so, despite everything.

Anyway, I'm off to iron a shirt.
