Let Me Introduce Tiana Our Little Multicutural Granddaughter

Tiana Our Little Multicutural Granddaughter
At 3am this morning my daughter Sara rang us to give us the news that Charlotte our youngest daughter, who lives just outside Paris, had given birth to little Tiana our gorgeous and newest little granddaughter. Born in France to
Tiana Our Little Multicutural Granddaughter
an English Mother (Charlotte) who looks either knackered or content here, I know not which, and
Tiana Our Little Multicutural Granddaughter
a Father (Badara) that was born in Mali but has lived in Paris most of his life.
How's that for multicultural? And just how beautiful is she - VERY
Incidentally the news came via Sara because she was receiving the text messages from Paris as we can't get a satellite signal here and it is so late because these pictures have just been put on Facebook. Welcome to Planet Earth Tiana.

I Want a Ruffle Carpet

ruffle carpet by mari isopahkala
How cool is this? Ruffle Carpet by Mari Isopahkala. We have some very deep pile Gotland Sheepskin rugs in our guest room and every time I shake them money falls out. They aren't magic but Harvey gets undressed in that room and it all falls out of his pockets. I guess this one would do the same.
