Popping in and out again fast, just off to get kids in a mo.
Thinking of you MrsG, hope you have E's dressing gown all packed .
Ginger, I'll waive copyright in exchange for a copy of yr story. Deal?
Well, expressing BM in a French university is fairly grim: there is nowhere to do it. Tried to see the nurse this morning to ask if she knew of anywhere, but she was away. Found an empty tutorial room, ensured no one could see through windows, locked myself in, dribbled milk on the desks and then went to put EBM in staff fridge. Had never opened it before; it is vile. Unutterably revolting.
There is no hot water in the loo basins, and no soap.
So if I can find somewhere to express I'll have to ask the nurse if I can store my EBM in her (presumably clean) fridge, but risk her being out when I need to rush in and get it after work. And I can't wash my pump in anything other than cold water over a dubious washbasin.
I may stage a protest by doing a pump-in with that hands-free one Boff linked to, in the university courtyard on the day when all the depts have their welcome meetings for new students.
Then again, maybe not.
I had lunch. In a restaurant. With a nice colleague. No children. No spew stains. No scolding to be done.
Bliss.
