will 'travels with percy' be as entertaining as 'travels with my aunt'? i expect not, plus i should confess i have not read 'travels with my aunt', i've only read about it.
percy is our three month old daughter. her real name is persephone but no-one on the planet seems to be able to say it or comprehend it, far less appreciate it. go look up your greek mythology- i think it's a splendid story.
she's actually not quite three months today. she was born on 27 march 2007 at 10:23pm. but close enough. she's currently sleeping in her cot after a big morning out, hence my opportunity to start this blog. which was amanda's suggestion- the blog, not the morning out or the cot.
this entry being titled 'beginnings' i suppose i ought to start at the beginning. but which? where? you know when percy was born; is that a good start? how 'bout the labour?! that'll put a lot of you off! her conception? even worse! (well, just scrumptious really but perhaps too personal.) how her father and i met? cripes- too long ago.
maybe late last year. there was a hint or suggestion at paul's work (percy's papa and my gorgeous husband) that a stint in the kiev, ukraine office might be a good idea. discussions were suspended until after percy's birth. had she (or i) not been well no trip would have happened. obviously we are well as this is our 6th day in kiev.
we are here for six months. this is the "beginning" week.

Excellent blog Petra! Exactly what I was thinking of when I suggested the blog space.
Love to Paul and Percy (percy is sooo unflattering how about Sephy??? Think AbFab)
Also Tim wants to know how the coffee is... yes he's a smart arse but we can't help it.
Looking forward to living the vicarious Kiev life thanks to your blog!
Love from
Amanda
the coffee apparently is atrocious. it is possible to buy real coffee in packets in the super market but not in cafes. it seems everyone here is quite happy to drink instant. it just isn't an issue here. paul has bought two plungers, one for home and one for the office, so he can at least make plunger coffee for himself.
i think we are stuck with percy- been usin' it for 12 weeks now. tho i do like sephy. might ease it in.
