Eden and Ozzy

Went in to Birmingham on the train today to register Sofía's birth. 

At New Street, we split up - Mike went with Ju and Sofía to the registry office and I took Eden to Foyle's bookshop. Only, she didn't want to go in, which if you know Eden, was a big surprise. Eventually worked out she was worried about the ginormous mechanical bull called Ozzy that we'd whizzed past. So we walked all the way round the top level, watching it every time we could get to the glass, and seeing it move and its eyes light up at regular intervals. At the point that I took this photo, she declared she wasn't scared, and then was happy to go look at books.

Gratefuls:
- Eden's curiosity and fascination with everything
- the delicious Indian meal we ate together
- Julia feeling more herself

And - three cheers for US Senator Cory Booker and his 25 hour 5 minute speech.

Re my Lent resolve to comment less/not at all, only doing it partially, commenting a lot less, but probably should do less for next weeks...
