A Broad Abroad: Settling in for a wait
http://thegoodwoman.blogspot.com/2008/09/settling-in-for-wait.html
The ramblings of a rambling South African mum. Sunday, 28 September 2008. Settling in for a wait. So another week down. Two and a bit to go and I'll be a mother of two. Can't pretend I'm not alternating between excitement and blind terror but as ankles swell and discomfort increases, the former is winning out. Bring on three hourly feeds, just let me lose the waddle! Oh well, we continue to wait for Thumper. Will keep you posted. It's great to have you back online! 29 September 2008 at 06:33. I'm debatin...

A Broad Abroad: American WIldlife
http://thegoodwoman.blogspot.com/2008/10/american-wildlife.html
The ramblings of a rambling South African mum. Saturday, 4 October 2008. Just as I was about to take Bambi to bed, the phone rang. Our neighbours had been having raccoon trouble and had managed to trap the little critter in their garage. Would we like to come over for a quick look and help release it? 160;Off we went with Bambi yodeling the theme tune to Go Diego Go. Oh, and the heavens opened. And I'm still pregnant by the way. Wow, it's like being on safari. 5 October 2008 at 00:32. It's a pitty that ...

A Broad Abroad: Thumper...
http://thegoodwoman.blogspot.com/2008/10/thumper.html
The ramblings of a rambling South African mum. Tuesday, 21 October 2008. All 9 pounds of her (4.1kg for those metrically minded). She is doing well, feeding voraciously and, in my completely unbiased opinion, absolutely gorgeous. Bambi can barely contain her excitement - the Good Man has held his littlest princess less often than his big princess has. We're wondering if the novelty will wear off. Anyway, must get on with my endless cycle of feeding, nappy changes and naps. 21 October 2008 at 21:53. 30 Oc...

A Broad Abroad: June 2007
http://thegoodwoman.blogspot.com/2007_06_01_archive.html
The ramblings of a rambling South African mum. Saturday, 30 June 2007. Before I came to Glasgow, I anticipated that our time here would feel safe. By European standards, Glasgow doesn't have the best reputation for crime, but by the standards of most places I've lived it's really secure. We chose to live in a nice southside. The police now suspect that this is an act of terror linked to the discovery of two car bombs in London yesterday. And the UK is on full security alert. A terrible thing happened tod...

A Broad Abroad: November 2007
http://thegoodwoman.blogspot.com/2007_11_01_archive.html
The ramblings of a rambling South African mum. Wednesday, 7 November 2007. Well, I know that I've been a touch elusive but 42 comments looked too good to be true. And I was right. Them spammers have attacked. So I'll be adding one of those nasty little steps to the comment process where you enter a code word that makes no sense. A real test of commitment. So where have we been? Now I am entering the quagmire that is ADSL. Why oh why does this have to take upwards of a week? In fact, Bambi is having a bla...

A Broad Abroad: November 2008
http://thegoodwoman.blogspot.com/2008_11_01_archive.html
The ramblings of a rambling South African mum. Saturday, 22 November 2008. It's been a while. Sorry. . Another big event while the Good Man was away was Halloween. Whoever thought of combining the joint pleasures of dressing up and getting loads of candy was clearly a marketing genius. It's all great fun but wow! Can it all add up. Gravestones in the flower beds, ghosts hanging from the trees, outfits from Disney store and, of course, large volumes of candy ('cos who wants to be the sap who runs out?

A Broad Abroad: Pregnant Pause
http://thegoodwoman.blogspot.com/2008/10/pregnant-pause.html
The ramblings of a rambling South African mum. Monday, 13 October 2008. It looks like Thumper will arrive on schedule. But the build up has just seemed like a long wait - in a very dull waiting room. This is what is meant by a pregnant pause - everything on hold.waiting. So here are some random thoughts I've had while on pause:. Men and women respond very differently to a full term pregnant belly. Women smile as if sharing a secret. Men tend to show you the whites of their eyes. And on the theme of lists...

A Broad Abroad: Up to date
http://thegoodwoman.blogspot.com/2008/09/up-to-date.html
The ramblings of a rambling South African mum. Saturday, 20 September 2008. Frankly, I've had enough of all this retrospective. I think I had in mind that I could update friends and family through my blog. But blogging (at least for me) isn't about travel tales and catching up - it's about pithy observation and social commentary. So my plan now is to provide a very potted version of our introduction to the US of A:. Light switches work differently here. Up means on and down means off. Why? Breakfast cere...
