I have nearly had 2000 visitors and I have been going for 2 years so with some quick calculations you can see that is 2.7 visitors per day. As Johann would say Wow! Thanks for visiting dudes. (In truth some of those visitors are me and I know people check back often to see for updates.) But still impressive that so many people want to see what I have been up to.
What have I been up to? Nothing actually just getting angry at the weather and at work. In that order of importance.
My sister is almost ready to pop, 4 days away from her due date and I am excited and we don’t even know what sex it is yet. I keep checking my phone to see if I have had a text . But nothing. And then today my phone ran out of battery so now I have to wait to go home before I can see if there is any news.
On a more administration front I have been busy changing my name from Wohlmuther to Bennett. God it is a drama. I have had to write about 800 letters to 800 different companies and send off copies of the marriage certificate to random people and Jamie ripped our marriage certificate on our wedding day and it’s all crumpled. Shows how much respect he has for our marriage.
And now my next step is to get new passports. Which will of course include paying about £150 for the privilege and the dreaded passport photo. I better get one soon before I pile the weight back on. Oh and also I have to trek to the Austrian embassy where they will soon find out that I can’t speak a word of German and then they stare at me and I am always afraid they will demand my passport back. And I can’t call them because they only speak German on the phone so I have to take time off work and go into the embassy and when I say embassy I mean a house in a street in Knightsbridge with a flag outside.
Also am nervous about doing my signature and always forget my new name and say Wohlmuther. And also Mrs Bennett makes me sound a)very old and b)like something from a Jane Austen book which makes me sound even older.
Shit and soon I will be an Auntie, retirement is just around the corner.

Hi Andrea, Since you've invited comments I'd like to let you know that I am a regular reader of your blog which I found while checking my daughter Georgia's blog. I love your writing, it's very entertaining, and I also get to see what Georgia's been up to in the pics you post. I also feel that it's a very difficult thing to do to change your name after marriage but after 36 years I'm getting used to it.
Hi Gorgeous,
This is your Mother (you would've guessed that from the greeting) writing. It's great that you're blogging 'cos that way we get to hear what you're up to (since you're so -mostly- terrible at emailing!) Anyway, to put you out of your misery since your cellphone is not working, Nikki is still pregnant and wishing she wasn't. We had a sweepstake on the due date and I guessed 29th April. So far so good..... Lots of love to you and Jamie from us all over here. Mum xxxxx
