One of these days

Holy Horse! Further to the post about mares' milk I had to find out if you could buy it online. But of course you can! There is a farm that specialises in mares' milk in Belgium: Horse dairy farm - Het Brabanderhof. You can also buy it online in the form of soap with instructions to make your own and this site has pictures. Read on at your own peril.

Creche Course So the institutionalisation of Garman started today. We went up to the creche for a little while to meet all his new friends. It went okay and we made a plan for the next week. Well at least the ironing will get done if I can stop bawling long enough. I was some mess on Friday when I realised it was our last full day on our own together. All those crazy hormones keep coming out my eyes in the form of tear drops - it is so strange. We'll all get used to it. A year ago he wasn't even here.

And I thought I was a good momma? Feed and transport your children all from one pair of boobs. And while we are on the topic I was reading in a book yesterday that the best natural alternative to human milk is mares' milk. On first reading this I thought Eeeeeugh but then as I took a sip of my milky tea I figured it's no weirder than cows' milk really is it? Himself reckons it is because mares don't have udders but as cows' udders have developed that way because of breeding it makes you wonder. Where the hell would you get mares' milk anyway...?

Big hello to R in London, L & F in Kiwiland and Loolieboots home and gone again - sorry we missed you. The pix are for you.
