Welcome Sabrina

Sabrina was born Tuesday 19 February, weighing 6 pound 14 of sweetness. She's sleeping beside me in her bassinet while I update my interwebs.

Family and friends and workmates etc have been so kind, thoughtful and lovely I am getting all teary. Thanks to you all.

Feedjitting

Since I added Feedjit to the blog I've been enjoying the joy of geography: Katy, Texas; Cote d'Azur; Milan; Sint-gillis-waas, Belgium; Chihuahua, Mexico; Oxford; Zurich; Brampton, Ontario; Chicago.

Other things I've been enjoying the last wee while:

• Thanks to Fraser for the heads up on Tiltshiftmaker. Here's my attempt at modelising.
  


• Baby shower fun
  
• Thanks to Sar for my Wire tshirt
  
• Filles Sourires - music blog. Fragile girls. Singing In French. Making Me Sigh. Any questions?:
  

  This year, Serge & Jane's eponymous duet Je t'aime...moi non plus celebrates it's 40th birthday. It's also forty years since L'Année Érotique - 1969 is also the year I was born.

  
  
• Jethro Cave - son of old Nick and very much a Gothic chip off the block. And in the genius gear of Hedi Slimane.
  
• Teenage fashion bloggers.
  
• Billy Childish. Discovered via the feverishly beautiful photography books of Tim Walker:
  

  we live in an age of great passing
  Many are passing from us now
  Wave to the animals we once knew
  The horn'd ones
  The slippery fish
  And the white bear
  
  Horror returns
  Or
  Horror smiles as it has always smiled
  
  Good bye saber-tooth tiger
  Good bye woolly rhino
  Good bye smiling whale
  Good by un classified insect
  In a fallen rain forest
  
  Millions die in a secret catalogue
  Of disasters
  All are disappearing
  Vanishing from the earth forever
  Thumbless spider monkeys
  wave good bye
  Snow leopard
  Moth and butterfly
  
  Horror returns
  Or
  smiles as it has always smiled
