I swear to God, every time you post something about your daughter, my uterus skips a beat.

@Buffy: I LOVE TRST. Absolutely head over heels with it, and have been resisting the urge to buy it for every single person I know.

And the good news is that my agent tells me it has been translated into thirty odd languages… (We share an agent, Steven Hall and I. Now there’s a sentence I never thought I’d be able to write!!)

I know this comment doesn’t necessarily BELONG here…but I just had to ask what you think about Steven Hall’s the Raw Shark Texts….

Right, then. What the fuck is BD?

If it’s what I think it is, they have shots that will clear that up nowadays, you know.

Your words give me hope that the Bambina will not start babbling to me in French or Italian when she comes home from school every day.

Oh how you take me back with that lovely writing on the little one, back to when Veronique was the same age with the biggest smile on the planet and would snuggle in my arms and we’d read together or listen to music or just be with one another when I got back from university for the day: the shouts of joy and the hugs and the sloppy kisses on my cheek and I thought then that I could never be again that happy and joyous. And you know I never have–oh I have seen happy and melancholy times since but never like those times when she was so young and growing and long-blonde haired and happy with us. If only I could get that back but the ghost of it is always there in my memory.. Thank you so much P’tite.

Just a thought, but is it not something of a cliche to call your daughter Tadpole and her father Mr Frog? Them being half-French/ French and all? I dunno.

Thanks Chloé, bit rusty on those books it seems. I just remember Anticlimax; story of my life, sigh

Children do indeed come out with the best things sometimes. My nephew (7 at the time) once pleased with his mother not to call his teacher to check on his behaviour…

“Please don’t call her!”

“Why not?”

“Because she’ll probably say I might have been naughty”
