Yeah: Linnea slept from about 10:30 pm to 6:30 am. That's 8 hours. Then she went back to sleep for a while. I slept until almost 10 am. This is a significant improvement on yesterday, when I collapsed due to exhaustion in the mid-afternoon and only woke up when Linnea hit me on the head with a trowel.

Boo: I didn't want to eat enough for breakfast.

Yeah: We got the train to town easily and saw Darrell and Becky's new shop there.

Boo: In Woolworths, I bumped one edge of one buggy wheel into a woman's shoe in a particularly crowded aisle (towards the exit), and said "Oh, I'm sorry!" and she turned around and said "You're not sorry." I gaped. She said "You did that deliberately, you should push your bundles away from people, fucking shit." I was somewhat shaken.

Yeah: I resisted the temptation to say "No, if it had been deliberate, it would have felt like this."

Boo: I was tempted to do that, though. Bad Ailbhe.

Yeah: I bought new, comfortable shoes.

Boo: They are Skechers trainer type things. Trainer type things are bad enough without them being a brand name. Ugh.

Yeah: I got two new nursing bras to accommodate my changing pregnant figure.

Boo: The fitter had never, in her 12 years' experience, encountered someone nursing through pregnancy before. Ever. She said this over and over again. It's a good thing I'm not embarrassed about it. She also said "How long are you going to feed her? How old is she now?" and so on in tones of horror. I remained polite.

Yeah: The driver of our bus home was lovely and let us on even though there were already two buggies on.

Boo: The driver after the shift-change halfway home was rotten and couldn't even park close to the kerb at a stop where two buggies were getting off.
