Baa Baa

Well, finally our baa baa blind arrived.

I say finally, because I ordered it a month ago and it has since been resent, before appearing.  This may partly be our fault (not realising that to receive post in Norway, we have to put our name on our appartment postbox), but I'm sure it's also the postal system.

As you probably know, the daylight hours in summer in Norway are long... We're still in April and today sunrise is 5:30am and sunset is 9pm.  Add to this, our rented flat has a rubbish blind in the bedroom (Actually, it'd be a pretty good blind, if it covered the window, it just has a two inch gap round it!)  Which all means that bedtimes have been a nightmare and Charlotte has been getting up earlier (usually around 6am!)

So finally our BaaBaa Blind (http://www.baabaablinds.com/) turned up and already I'm seeing benefits.  Charlotte fell asleep within 5 minutes, instead of the usual half an hour plus!

Now I'm just hoping I get a lie in tomorrow...

Hello

Well, I have obviously had a blog before.  But then I got pregnant and life got busy.  Or busier...  And I ditched the old blog because I felt that, as a mum, I needed to leave behind all the old emo-goth, self-obsessed rantings...
But I thought I might have a new blog.  And I might write stuff about amusing things that daughter does...  Or, at least, things that I think are amusing and you will probably think are boring! 
Anyway, that sort of welcome will do for now. I'm off to listen to the Now Show.
