I just spent a heavenly hour playing with my little nephew. He’s adorable and is forever searching for things that he can put in his mouth. These days he thinks he is ready to jiggle and wriggle on his nimble toes and tries very hard to do it. His uncle had taught me a technique of making him cry, which I promptly experimented today. Needless to say, I bore the wrath of a roomfull of people whom he had been entertaining all this while. A quarter of an hour later, the cherub came crawling back ….ready to dance with me.

So much for today. Shall pick up again tomorrow.
