  4. The Second Boon

    The last few weeks have been very hectic. As most of my friends, and their friends, would already know, we celebrated our daughter, Anika’s (or Riki's as everyone calls her), first birthday in Pondicherry. Since early this year, we have been planning long-distance, making the bookings, looking up references, calling friends, and getting the canvas ready. Then there was the packing, the travel, the unpacking, the circus of last minute preparations, the sorting of trillion things we bought […]

    I prefer to forget the first commercial #pantomime I ever attended. It was in #Wimbledon and my #mother took my brother and I to see the show which starred Adam Faith. It was two hours with fingers in my ears trying to keep out the #screaming of all the older #teenage #girls in the audience.

  7. A quotation from Balzac

    The fact is, my sweet, every mother spends her time, so soon as her children are out of her sight, in imagining dangers for them. Perhaps it is Armand seizing the razors to play with, or his coat taking fire, or a snake biting him, or he might tumble in running and start and absess on his head, or he might drown himself in a pond. A mother’s life, you see, is one long succession of dramas, now soft and tender, now terrible. Not an hour but has its joys and fears.
     
    [En effet, mon ange, durant le jour, toutes les mères inventent des dangers. Dès que les enfants ne sont plus sous leurs yeux, c’est des rasoirs volés avec lesquels Armand a voulu jouer, le feu qui prend à sa jaquette, un orvet qui peut le mordre, une chute en courant qui peut faire un dépôt à la tête, ou les bassins où il peut se noyer. Comme tu le vois, la maternité comporte une suite de poésies douces ou terribles. Pas une heure qui n’ait ses joies et ses craintes.]

    Honoré de Balzac (1799-1850) French novelist, playwright
    Letters of Two Brides [Mémoires de deux jeunes mariées], Part 1, letter 45 (1840) [tr. Scott (1897)]

  8. Mother looked after our cat and plants for the past week while we were away. We're very grateful.

    But she can't just do as she's asked. She dug out the small watering can that is too little instead of using the milk bottles as asked. She bought a brush for the cat because "your one was too small". And left a (new?) litter scoop here instead of just using ours.

    All small things, but part of a pattern. She house sat for us once for 5 days and bought storage units and reorganised my partner's underwear, unasked.

    And she chronically feels unappreciated and takes everything as criticism so I don't think I'll say anything to her. But next time I'll just pay a stranger to come and feed the cat.

  9. A quotation from J. M. Barrie

    Wise children always choose a mother who was a shocking flirt in her maiden days, and so had several offers before she accepted their fortunate papa.

    J. M. Barrie (1860-1937) Scottish novelist and dramatist [James Matthew Barrie]
    The Little White Bird, ch. 19 “Joey,” Scribner’s Magazine, Vol. 32 (1902-11)
