Whoa mercury, shooting through every degree

It's awful warm at the moment and while it seems terribly churlish to complain about such a thing in Scotland I'm going to. You see my room is south facing so I get the sun streaming in all day long making the place like a regular greenhouse, which isn't the comfiest of states.

I'm toying with the idea of going outside for a wee bit today but will have to put on factor overcoat sunscreen as some of my medications leave me at risk to damage from UV light. My skin is already in a fragile state what with rejection issues so I don't think it needs any more grief with burning on top of that.

Anyway, enough of my infernal moaning. Today is a good day. Yesterday saw the arrival of my new niece. Chloe Frances Kilday was born at half past nine yesterday morning. 7 lb 9 oz for all the stats monkeys out there. Another nephew would have been perfectly fine but I was secretly pleased that it's another niece to balance things out to two of each.

I'm not allowed up there to visit for fear of infection so my sis-in-law phoned me yesterday to tell me I'll be hte first place they visit when they get out, which is very sweet indeed.

Anyhoo, here's a photo of her after her first bath:

Can't wait for them to get home so I can get a cuddle off her.
