A message came from Aliana Grace <br />to say the thongs – okay, <i>‘havaianas’</i> <br />were unerringly what every little girl <br />would need first day she walks outside. <br /> <br />Aliana reached three weeks today, tho’ <br />very sweet and much advanced I think <br />her chances of a promenade outdoors <br />in pretty pink will be a while delayed. <br /> <br />Yet judging her dexterity in SMS I’ll <br />have to think again – if she’s a prodigy <br />her <i>‘havaianas’</i> I deduce will certainly <br />be graced as well as glissé ballet shoes. <br />© 31 January 2010, I.
