Things people say to you on having a baby:
"He's gorgeous." (Yes. Yes, he is).
"You did brilliantly." (Yes. Yes, I fecking did).
"Life will never be the same again." (This is true).

So we have our baby. Il s'appelle Patrick. He has completely rewired my brain and my heart. Everything is so different, and yet at the same time it's like everything has fallen into place. Turns out all the cliches were true. Who'd have thunk it?

I have lots to record here, but it'll have to wait until I'm capable of looking at him (or him and Adam -DOUBLEBRAINLOVEEXPLOSION)) and articulating my thoughts with a more intelligible and lucid vocabulary than 'Nnnnnnggggghhhhh!' So eighteen years, yeah?
Back soon. A bientôt.
