The mothership is expanding my readership in the little corner of Africa that she calls home. She is a very excited grolly(granny)-in-waiting and I think that the ex-pat community in Addis Ababa know more about my pregnancy than my friends do. They should have a face to put to the name (anyone who has a mother still displaying 10-year-old pictures of their kids in the sitting room where anyone can see them will understand this!)
With humble apologies to people who see me every day and people who couldn’t give a fig what I look like at 28 weeks…
