Piglet has a paternal cousin, the first one, as of today. Nicola just had a baby in Dublin, the day before Riu goes to Ireland to see her Granizado Kennedy for the first time.

This is Riu, reacting to the news.

Yay!

UPDATE: It’s a boy, and he weighs 3.62873896 kilograms, except in old money.

Now, everybody knows that Oglesbys can’t sing, but these days I do find myself upon occasion warbling along to something about a mockingbird, or chicken licken, or little piggie toes.

Hello? Are you there, god? It’s me, Piglet. I’m coming to Ireland soon. See you there!

So, I introduced Piglet to Heffalump and at first she was all shy and coy.

Then I went to brush my teeth and left them to get to know each other. They had a little chat. She made some piggy noises, he made some scratchy and crackly noises. They talked about the weather (hot). They played some games (educational).

Well.

Then I came back and she was all ‘who are you?’ 

I feel like my work here is done. Sigh.

You didn’t send more flowers? You did? Oh you shouldn’t have, oh, go on then, I’ll take them.

Thanks Granizado!
