Nectar of the Gods

I had taken a bite, and was nibbling the skin away from the flesh, as one does, when I sensed two gigantic eyes upon me. We both moved in synch, and her gums latched upon the fruit, not keen to let go. Her mother was beside me on the sofa, and said this was called "soft weaning". Personally, I though it nowt but theft. Big week in our thee-gen house. Alannah started pre-school on Monday. Today was Juliet's first day of "Ma care", and tomorrow Juliet goes to Farran Street in Lane Cove for her first day of institutional day-care. Mumma goes back to her lawyering next week, but for two days per week (job share) to begin with.
