Pink is the new blog

[j4]

So I'm not doing NaBloPoMo, obviously, because I can't guarantee getting enough time free to shower every day, let alone blog every day. However in the spirit of trying to make it a month of writing, I started a NEW BLOG (because hey! I don't have enough half-finished projects!) which now has enough posts that I can just about bear to link to it.

The new blog is here and (as those of you who watch my flickr stream -- weirdos! -- will probably already have figured out) it's about PINK and BLUE or rather how everything is stupidly gender-stereotypically colour-coordinated (plus more general mockery of gender-stereotyping in toys, gifts etc). I don't promise to update it all that regularly, though depressingly there's enough material that I could probably update it a hundred times a day & not run out.

... So, yeah. Blog. Not much to shout about but there you go.

In other news, daughter is slightly bigger and I am slightly tireder. (If I don't manage to post anything else for the next decade or so, this summary will probably stay reasonably accurate!)

Arrrgle. That must be hard. Yeah - undermine it however you can get it under the radar. I think the thing that aunts and uncles are best for is to show up for the 'you need a village to raise a child' and nurture any vocations if they need back up - say the lad suddenly wants to be a ballet-dance, or the lass wants to be a scientist, you can be the one that backs them up and buys them the stuff they actually want for that interest. You can help validate their choices in life if they find themselves being invalidated by their parents - and that goes for anything not just this issue.
