Hello Auntie Clara!
Clara arrived to our place at 6ish (pm) yesterday. She came by cab, from her hotel, all by herself - unfortunately.
She wanted to save us the trouble of going to Bayswater to pick her up. But I think she was more unnerved by reports of 'mischief' on the BBC regarding pranksters prowling the streets on Halloween, and didn't want Danielle & I to be exposed to such 'dangers' while commuting to get her.
Good ol' Clara, always so considerate.
So despite my initial protests, I relented. Stayed at home to put up the welcome banner, watch over my sweet potato/ginger soup (a dessert fab for a cold night), popped over to the Tube station to get her an Oyster card, and geared Danielle up to welcome 'Auntie Clara'.
When she arrived, just seeing her resusicated a surge of emotions in me. No, didn't cry or anything (well, not yet... but more on that in next entry), but was very moved to see a dear friend again.
After settling down, she started unpacking all the 'goodies' from Singapore she'd brought with her. And I must admit, I was a tad embarrassed when I realised HALF her Samsonite contained things for Danielle and myself! Once again girls, thanks so much - for the 8Days, teh tarik, Milo, Christian CDs for Danielle, wet wipes, bak kwa, dried mango, Jap sponge, Lemsip etc etc etc etc etc... You guys are amazing.
xxooo

Kept spitting out his milk n seems uncomfortable. Refuse to sleep & fussed a whole lot. My mom had to carry him whole day. And I had to keep feeding cos he kept regurtiting out his milk, duno why.
