PostingMystery of the Meme

I've been tagged by Vanessa of Fidra - (now that sounds like a book title if ever I heard one) - in something called a book meme.

The rules are:

1. Pick up the nearest book.

2. Open to page 123

3. Find the fifth sentence.

4. Post the next three sentences.

5. Tag five people, and acknowledge who tagged you.

Birthing from Within by Pam England and Rob Horowitz.

"The burst of energy that accompanies the onset of labour allows for last minute 'nesting'. Use this opportunity to take care of any unfinished business before settling into your birth place and the state-of-mindlessness sometimes referred to as 'Labourland'. In America, the image of women in labour lying down in a narrow bed, waiting and watching the monitor has become part of our idea of birth."

My brain isn't working well this morning - that 'state-of-mindlessness' thing kicking in already. I need to have a think about who I'll tag. Update follows later.

Vanessa of Fedra could be a play, a Greek tragedy maybe!

I enjoyed reading this meme

Hello Great Big Veg, well, crikey, that's a thought! I liked your site - your book about getting kids to eat veg looks like a great idea, well executed. Please don't judge my parenting/culinary skills, but I shall probably have to buy a copy.
