All is well

30 Jul

All is well in my world today.  Apart from my kitchen & laundry- these areas are not so well.  In fact, they are quite disgusting so I had better get off the computer & do something about it!

I have spent this morning trying to do some study.  A has been asleep for ages, so you would have thought I could at least do something productive.  Like study or housework.  Or even having a shower!  But I am still in my pyjamas.  I kind of did a little bit of study but most of it involved googling, & not much writing!

I am investigating 2 things.

1.  Nice girls don’t talk dirty.  Do men swear more than women????  My findings so far show that generally this is probably not the case anymore.  Many many women have potty mouths!!!!!!  I don’t swear very often at all, but I do find that sometimes when I am extremely frustrated, I will swear before I even know it.  Swear words do seem to very good way for people to release steam & anger.  It’s the harsh sounds.  But both Paul & I have agreed that we will cut out all swearing in our house.  Like I said, it’s not like we swear a lot anyway so hopefully it won’t be too hard.

2.  What are the linguistic features of blogging?  I am very interested in this subject & so far my research has been fascinating, but I’m not sure any of you would be all that keen on me banging on about prepositions, negations, register, blah blah blah.  So I won’t bore you!

Strange signs…

24 Jul

Today our baby sign language book arrived & I am very excited! I started showing A some of the signs & he was so intrigued- he thought it was all extremely funny!
I especially like the sign for “milk”- it’s exactly like the action of milking a cow. & I certainly do feel like a cow what with all the breastfeeding that goes on!
He has really started to babble this past week too. It’s just so cute.
