It's TwinsAfter a long and stressful labour it's twins. The waters broke with the arrival of some parsley on Sunday straight from the IGA Tuckerbox here in Kununurra and from then on there was no turning back. Labour pains started in earnest yesterday morning with the discovery of window boxes at the Mitre 10, we then rushed to emergency at the Flametree nursery to be told that they only had Oregano and that the last surviving chives and chillies had just been delivered to the IGA downtown, so off we raced to try and beat those native mothers to these rare and valuable commodities. After beating off shoeless children, drunks on the footpath, families laying around the parks and the queues at the bottleshop we snatched the chives only to find they also contained Thyme - Oh bliss. Safely at home in the Miss Guided nursery they had a peaceful night getting used to their new world. AAAAAAAAAAAAAGH real food again.
