Sean Francis Maher

Took Lou and Tom to Queen Charlotte's Friday evening. Watched Parade's End final episode. Text at 7 a.m. waters had broken. He was born in the water at 10 a.m. and weighed the same as Ciarán! In fact he looks just like him. Took Cairán to the park and had to shout to stop him on the scooter. Had lunch there and he had a sleep having watched "Blue mountain mystery" about 10 times. Sean was finally checked by the midwife at 8 p.m. and I collected them. Ciaran was so sweet with him kissing him and speaking softly. A great start! Sunday he got his special present of an engine shed. Bruce came Saturday with organ music, bubbly to go with the pizzas and my recharged razor. We recorded a book for him! Lightning McQueen. To St Joseph Bunhill Fields to play for Mass - rehearsed with Martin Pendergast and recognised Fr Peter. One manual with pedals which belonged to the Knights of Malta. A very pleasant experience. Walked in the rain through the graveyard where Defoe, Blake and Bunyan are buried to Wesley's chapel and house with magnificent Victorian loos! Dennis came to see sean. Very chuffed about the names - Sean is John in Irish and Francis was Dad's first name. Bought cakes at Acton cafe - expensive! On way home Open weeked to the Hidden house which is splendid on a small site. Watched Downton Abbey, Vikings and Duke and Duchess of Cambridge tour. Very wet - had to change socks twice!
