Monday evening, and the best news in a long time. Lucie is pregnant. Due in August.
She cried on the phone, then I cried, then Callum came in and asked who had died, and we both laughed so hard we couldn't explain.
Before she hung up she asked if I was "still doing the blog, the same as last year," and laughed. I said yes, I'm still doing the blog. I didn't understand the joke, but I didn't want to ruin the call.
A grandchild. I keep saying it out loud in the empty kitchen.
