Busy Weekend (again)

Did the normal stuff Saturday morning, then all 4 of us cleared the back garden. Trash into the skip, general "winter tidy" of the garden etc. Watched Pirates of the Caribbean in the evening - very good movie (even without the Mr Depp factor)

Sunday, up early as Tasha had to go to church as she was a godparent for Jonah. Florence went too, and she went to Sunday school for the main bit of service and then came in for the christening. We all went over to Branston Golf club for the "do". They have a new beauty spar thing as part of the gym, with a "luxuries" shop - Nice!!

Had to go round to Mums on the way home to fix a you know when your parents are old because..... they can't follow the setup instructions to their new DVD/video unit. Ensuring the SCART lead is plugged in normally suffices!!

It seems that I am even more jealous of Biz and the Blogger folk now. They have has a couple of current swimming pools installed at Blogger.

Its now been a week since we ran out of water.

Compare and discuss!

Poor Nate

Nate, bless him, is really poorly. Hes got a virus thats going around at the moment - full of cold, cough and keeps being sick. He still tries really hard to be cheerful, but he was in a bad way yesterday. He got up just as I was leaving the house this morning, and looked a little better, but we'll see when we get home.

Squash went well last night, and I didn't loose!! A Draw, my best result yet I think. HAd a good chat with Stubbs in the Bridge afterwards too, guest ale last night was "Bramble Stout".

I hate Wasps

Not my shot, but this really gives me the creeps. Not sure if they're "urban myth" but I've heard alot of stung mouth stories.

And while you're browsing YOU MUST LOOK AT THIS!! It really goes to show you that having the right equipment is essential

Weekend Roundup

Very busy weekend. Florence did the ballet thing (as usual) and Nate & I went for our normal walk. Nate really not well (full of cold) and he'd got up really early. Tasha and Nate went to sleep in the afternoon which left Florence and me to raid the craft cupboard. Tasha out with the girls to Pastiche and had a really cool time (and loads of nice food).

Sunday again Nate & I up early and he full of cold. Spent the morning doing chores, but had a good homely feeling at the end. Nate again needed more sleep in the afternoon. The kids and I went down the road to brookhollows for an explore in the woods before tea, building up an appetite. Tasha at rehersal and I'm getting a bit of work done. Hopefully sitting down with Adrian the Guru tomorrow and can finally sort out my issues.

White Christmas

Find out if its going to be a white christmas in your area. Gives you a % rating - unfortunately I'm only 10% chance. And another downer is that it only works for the UK....sorry
