I LOVE maternity leave!
Can't recommend it enough! The days are flying by, I am so busy but only doing silly things like making cakes and going for walks and seeing friends (have made some lovely new friends! Boozy ones - though not at the mo as we all pregnant!). Did have a major Ikea session last week which lasted for daaaaays - making the cot and drawers and washing all Beanies clothes... We are 37 weeks now! So he is full term and all ready to come out which is such a relief.
Am still keeping an eye on all my Uni emails of course and have found a conference I could present at in June... abstracts are only 500 words and not in till march... so am thinking about it! And all the copenhagen summit stuff has meant I am thinking about my climate change chapter and actually quite excited as all the politicians are putting sticking plasters on a serious issue while trumpteting themselves as global humanitarians. My claws are out! Is lovely having time off because it makes me realise how much my work is a hobby and something that I do enjoy. The work itself is a slog, but the topic and research is great. I love it. But then I love it because I can leave it :0)
Making stock for a soup today, reading the paper, crawling around with my backache and HUGE belly, and going for a walk in the crisp sunshine later. Perfect.
Hope you all well!
