This time, please feel free to tell me I’m being silly, crazy, wildly imaginative, whatever.....
A few years ago when I was working in Tunis I visited the archeological site of Carthage. Whilst I was there I bought a pair of silver earrings in the shape of Tanit, an ancient goddess of fertility, from a gift shop. I wore them a lot, as one often does with new jewellery, clothes etc., Lo and behold, both my DILs had babies within a year of my purchasing and wearing the said symbol of fertility.
Son and girlfriend expecting a baby, EDA 11th this month. Spoke on the phone yesterday a and heard all about tired L is, how she can’t sleep, needs to pee all the time etc., as is the norm during last few weeks of pregnancy. Woke up this morning and thought “I’ll wear my Tanit earrings today. Maybe that’ll get things going” - guess what! They’ve spent all afternoon and evening at the hospital! Now I can’t sleep waiting for phone call....
