I love the orange spider - as you might have guessed.

And that's an adorable bump! How long till you go on maternity leave?

That's the only picture I didn't take. I used it for a class on art to illustrate the question whether street art is actual art or just vandalism. This one is made by Bonom, so for the kids it's really fun to know they can go out and hunt for his work in Brussels.

After this week I'll work for another three weeks, a long weekend included. I'll go on maternity leave after Pentecost (another long weekend). I still have four weeks to go until my due date (July 13th), but you'll probably remember my high blood pressure when I was pregnant with LB. I was rather grateful for the four weeks at home then... I will stay at home for an additional three months of parental leave this time, though. School's been very chaotic lately, LB starts school in September, and I lack opportunity to keep on breastfeeding after going back to school.

Trust me to pick the picture you didn't take! I like the others, too, - the launderette I remember from way back when and I meant to ask about that last but one, what kind of bag is it?

Oh, I'm sure that those four weeks before your due date will be filled with lots of getting ready for the new baby and with two little ones a longer parental leave is definitely sensible! (And I do hope that you won't have high blood pressure this time round.)

I think I recycled three pictures of "one photo a day".

That's a Crumpler (http://www.crumpler.eu/) laptop backpack that goes by the name of Zoo Daddy (http://www.crumpler.eu/index.cfm?seite=laptop-back-packs&sprache=EN&productID=6500). I have the Espresso one. Had my mind set on roadkill red, just for the fun of it, but that would stain too easily.

Or did you mean my lunch box (http://www.madebyoots.com/lunchbox.html)?

Ah, so it is a backpack - I wasn't sure. I like it. My laptop backpack is huge and unwieldy and was bought for me by practical mind who wanted me to be able to carry folders and ringbinders, too.

It's a bit smaller than my previous backpack, and sturdier. It can still hold a binder, but gets very big and full with a bread box and books, which is also a reason why I like my lunch box, I just take it along whenever I've got a lunch break, but not on the days when I only work in the mornings.

I bought a smaller bag, just to make sure I don't carry around too much stuff, like I did with the previous backpack.
