All the paperwork for my mother now seems to be mostly sorted. Just in time for more taxes due to 'austerity'. The house will get an extra tax, as will her pension probably. I now have long term residence status in Switzerland. Unlikely ever to return to Ireland to live and even working out if my mother would prefer to come on shared holidays elsewhere.

First overnight away from the little guy is planned in Sept. Working out the milking logistics to see if I can rescue any of the pumped. If the hotel will freeze some freezerblocks for me it should be possible. It will be wierd.

The little guy has started some 'solids'. Was going to try BLW but he doesn't really associate that kind of stuff with food, whereas he launches himself at spoons of stewed fruit as if it were my boob and he were in a growth spurt so I guess I'll let him set the T&C for a bit longer. So far he likes carrots, bananas, pear and apple.
