Baby Catrin: progress report (1)
It’s Day 18 in the young life of my beautiful granddaughter Catrin and I visited her for the fourth time today. The poor thing is not looking her best because she has milk spots so no photographs here for a while. But she’s doing really well and already weighs 9lb 6 oz.
Richard & Emily would like me to babysit so that they can have dinner out around Valentine’s Day, so I needed to be trained to change Catrin’s nappy (it’s at least 30 years since I last changed one). Rich showed me how it’s done and later on I did one myself, so I’m all set to go.
When Rich was born in 1976 we received a congratulatory letter from Labour Prime Minister Jim Callaghan because at that time I was a Special Adviser working for the Labour Government. Today I saw a letter to Rich & Emily from Labour leader Ed Miliband congratulating them on the birth of Catrin (both parents served as a Special Adviser in the last Labour Government).

Censorship, Roger? I’m shocked! (not looking her best…so no photographs)

Not censorship, Andy. Just sensitivity to parents’ preference.

Pah! I got a Christmas card from Roland Rat one year.

Babies are always gorgeous – regardless of milk spots! And I’m very happy for you to practice your nappy changing skills on James tomorrow!
