1. Something was filmed on my street yesterday afternoon, but alas I will likely never know what it is*, because I was at work and not at home watching.

*Unless, of course, I happen to recognise my street while watching something over the next few months!

2. My colleague finally gave birth to her baby on Tuesday! I say finally, he's actually two weeks early still, but his birth has supposedly been imminent for weeks now - she was taken into hospital at 28 weeks because they thought she was about to go (her last baby was born at 31 weeks), but evidently the bed rest did the trick as she made it to 38 weeks before popping! Baby is 8lb5 so a real bruiser compared to the last one, who was only 3lb11 - also, another very fast delivery. Active labour was just 15 minutes this time, compared to 20 minutes with her last baby! So, congratulations to Sarah, Dylan and Holly on the safe arrival of little Alex.

3. Layla-May cut her first tooth this week, hallelujah - she's been teething for about five months without anything ever actually coming through, so it was about time, really. Look at this tall, happy little sunflower!

My colleagues from the other attic just came running in to tell me that David Suchet is filming in Cardiff for Doctor Who today, so they are now convinced that if only I'd gone home yesterday afternoon I'd have met him! I suspect it was just a doorstep scene for Casualty, though, so if I had gone home I'd have just spent two hours watching someone get loaded into an ambulance, or something!

Alas, Chelsea and Jamie have separated - Chelsea is struggling badly at the moment, her autism coming together with a touch of post-natal depression to send her spiralling. We are all really worried about her. But thanks in the main to my wonderful mother, who does the bulk of the childcare, Layla-May remains happy and healthy and unaffected by these problems (although she's going to notice more and more as she gets older). That baby is always happy - even when she is in pain with her teeth, even when she isn't well, she still tries to smile and laugh! She's the most good-natured child I have ever encountered. Goodness knows how, both of her parents are pretty moody, really. She also adores books, whereas neither of them reads at all - we've told them two negatives make a positive!
