Flavia has given birth to two teeny little baby girls. She chose 3am on a night of thunderstorms, hail and snow.
So here they are: one is a spitting image of Flavia really - only a bit more bruiser like - taking after her dad perhaps. (The link takes you to a picture of Hugo - but you'll have to scroll down a bit). The other, currently considering whether life might be better as a mouse or a mole, has a bit more of her fathers colouring.
They are both pure Anglo-Nubians so their names will
reflect their African heritage, and will start with the letter S. Suggestions on a postcard please...More are due tomorrow night - but there's little sign of them so we expect them to be late. Which might mean Jussi gets to sleep in a bed tonight.

They're so cute. Hope Jussi manages to get some sleep.
Hurrah! Well done Flavia!
How about "sala kakuhle"?
It's Xhosa for "stay well"
(Don't forget the tongue click after the third syllable)
or 'Sibongile' - thank you (or thankful, and a common girl's name) in Siswati
Thanks for the names - I think that by the time we'd managed to say sala kakuhle the goat would have eaten all the cabbages and escaped onto the common grazing. And Sibongile? We don't like the sound of it very much but Siswati looks like a runner - Jussi likes the ring of it. What a learned lot you are.
And thanks for the thought Jo - Jussi slept like the House of Lords last night.
And Mat - re your facebook comment - they really aren't for eating!
