Fic

I've been reading a bit of fanfic again, tend to go through cycles with that. Also doing a fair bit more wiritng of my own again. Just playing around really, trying to stay out of my own head for a bit.

It's an amazing winter day today. Very warm and clear skied. It's windy though, a change is coming, and when I sat up on the roof before, the wind kept gusting over the rooftops and threatening to pick up all my stuff. I lost some papers out of my diary, they're off on an adventure to far off neighbours. Still it's very calming to sit up there and write, or listen to ipod (news, not music) and contemplate.

Maybe I'll post some of my writing soon. This semi-public space is challenging for me.

Baby Kyla!

I'm aware that its somewhat gauche to start off a journal with a picture of a baby, but that's what's happening in my life at the moment, so it seems it's something that bears recording.

This is a picture of my new (and first) niece, Kyla. She was born on Sunday 21 August 2005. She's 12 weeks premature, 28 weeks gestation, 1445g. This is small, but not so bad. She's doing well.



She's all blue because of the UV light on her. Such a little thing. I call her monkey grrl 'cos she's covered in fine downy hair, part of the evolutionary thowbacks that a fetus goes through. Christian, her dad and my brother, doesn't like the nickname though. But then he never really gets my sense of humour.
