Lumpy

Rocco has an ear infection!!! Isn't it MARVELOUS! He's on antibiotics and his lump is shrinking.

We're *pretty* sure it's just his lymph node, doing its job. Poor lumps - they get a bad rap, don't they? Nobody likes them. In gravy, in boobs, in cheese sauce, in your stomach five days before your son gets born .... nobody wants lumps.

Yet sometimes, a lump is just a lump. Nothing more.

Crisis averted.

This afternoon, I am driving down to Glebe to meet some actual, real-life, Aussie bloggers. IN THE FLESH. Blogging is becoming much more visible here in Australia. It's a wonderful thing. I will meet Brenda, we've skyped and emailed and tweeted, and now we shall eat churros together.

What are churros? Oh, only THESE .......


Spanish doughnuts, aka pastry that is fried until crunchy, then sprinkled with sugar. We're meeting in a churros RESTAURANT.

Bring.

It.

Have a wonderful, lump-free weekend.

Love Eden XOX

  6. I am not a fan of churros (strange, because I usually like all things fried) but I am finding myself to be a reluctant fan of ear infections! Not only is a lump a lump, you may have an early warning system, whereas all I ever got was my sleep disturbed by a cranky but otherwise healthy kid who couldn't lie down comfortably.

    Enjoy your fried dough...even when they fill them with chocolate, I still don't like 'em. A churros restaurant? Really?

    Oh and I'm jealous that you get to meet up with bloggers...I actually dont know many Aussie bloggers though...

  15. Oh, my dear sweet girl! Never have I been gladder to hear of an ear infection. Nobody likes lumps, indeed. Down with lumps!

  16. so a few things: (a) apparently blogger thinks you are a spammer and sends your comments to my spam folder...spam spam spam...I love that word.
    (2) I am, indeed, an Aussie. But thanks for calling me a hot americano ;)
    (c) yup, that is my caravan :) I have two of them. Are you jealous now? I have to actually start working on restoring them though, one is sitting in my in-laws driveway and I think I am losing my standing as favourite daughter in law more and more each day it sits there!

  17. I wish I could have come to that meetup to meet you ...well really for the Churros too and Brenda.

    Hub was driving his sister & BIL to the airport (going home to Q). I had no-one to mind the monkeys and he couldn't fit them all in the car or rather neither his sister or BIL would have fit next to the carseats ;).
