Sharing a bit of good news in an otherwise shockingly awful year. After more procedures than I can remember and more money than I want to think about, finally, finally Casper has a sibling on the way.

Maxim William arrived on Monday morning. The end of an incredibly long, hard journey. We’re so so delighted and relieved he’s finally here 🥰.

4 months too late and I’m still angry at the useless UK government for such a bloody farce with travel but we made it home and my mum got to meet her grandson ☺️☺️

Two arseholes parked way, way too close to my car on both sides in MOE today. Nothing I could with a 6 mth pregnancy bump. An incredibly kind man can to my aid and managed to somehow squeeze himself in and reverse the car out bless him. What a gent.

Today was pretty hardcore tbh. I’d forgotten what travelling with a baby is like - add in the covid complications and nearly not making our connecting flight in Athens and it was just 🤯🤯🤯. Anyway, finally made it!

But very unfair on those who don’t want to listen to your music don’t you think? I wouldn’t want to. And then not only are you inflicting your music on people, when someone dares to ask you to turn it off you retaliate by making things worse for everyone. How nice.

I’d be more interested in the Mars mission if it wasn’t now as complicated to fly to my home country as it is to go to another planet.

Dear
@KHDA
, please, please, please, for the love of everything in this world, please open the schools in September. I can’t do anymore of this. On behalf of all parents in the UAE, we are losing our minds.

Absolutely delighted that so many people don’t want to come to Dubai. We’re so full at the moment I don’t know how we can fit anymore in. Some of the comments are just wild.
I randomly had a 10-hour layover in Dubai once & took a tour & it was one of the creepiest, most unsettling places I've ever been. Like the scene in the apocalypse movie just before the apocalypse. Pre-post-apocalyptic. This video captures the vibe well.

Cannot believe the amount of chat & newsprint that’s been devoted to this emergency alert in the UK. The first ones in the UAE were a bit startling but we didn’t bang on about them for ever. Just crack on UK, you’ve got bigger issues.

Weirdly I’ve had the most amazing start to my 40th in semi lockdown. Husband has made an amazing effort and my best friend has put together the most incredible video of msges from everyone who can’t be here. Crying buckets!

I don’t think I have ever been so disgusted with a human being before. How is asking for a ceasefire a ‘hate March’? You are vile Suella, absolutely vile.
I agree with the Prime Minister. It is entirely unacceptable to desecrate Armistice Day with a hate march through London.
If it goes ahead there is an obvious risk of serious public disorder, violence and damage as well as giving offence to millions of decent British people. 1/2

Husband has once again forgotten to buy me an Easter egg. I knew he would so I bought my own 2 weeks ago. Going to wait until late Saturday night to ask if he’s remembered.

I think the point people need to remember is that no one is forcing you to go out. So if you’re still worried and think this is too soon to ease restrictions just stay home as before. Me personally, I’m over the moon I can go outside again.
