In my local town, Winterthur, this cunning window display. A French boucherie? Mais non, regard-toi de plus prés... it's a wool shop on Metzgasse or 'Butcher Street'. Such a funky nod to this shop's historic roots. J'adore... even if I am veggie!

Nothing... Come on hippy, psycho-babbler bloggers, get with it. It’s all because of two-year-old Alpha Blondie’s drawings this week. I should really say ‘portraits’ rather than drawings - the kid made me pose for them. ‘Mummy, you stand, I draw you. Stand up! Stand! Stand UP!’ ‘Alright, alright, I hear you...’ *jeez* Then he grabbed a pen and scored black lines down the page. After a few seconds I assumed he was just scribbling and I wandered off, but... ‘Mummy! You STAND, I DRAWING you.’ I froze. This is all new for Alphie, one of those sudden developments that signals a new door opening in the brain: yesterday - he scribbled, today - he represents what he sees. The question is, what does he see? And that’s why I want an art psychologist... Over and over again, he draws Mummy with dozens of legs and even more eyes. For the most part, I am brown. Then he gets another piece of paper and draws an orange blob, which is Mummy, then a purple blob for himself and a yellow blob for his big sister. Daddy is blue. He inspects it for a while and then says, ‘No,’ and changes the Mummy blob from orange to brown. So I am definitely brown.

I’m quite surprised it needed a Gallup poll to convince the world that motherhood is tough and prone to get you down. Imagine, if you would, the job ad: Wanted: Mother (full-time). Hours: 6am-8pm Monday to Friday. And Saturday. Oh, and Sunday. Also on call 8.01pm-5.59am.
