this week

Friday 15th - 4am start. Arrrrgggh, not nice.
Picked Clare up at 4.30 so plenty of time to get to the airport for our 6am flight. But what's this ??? Someone appears to have moved Bristol Airport ! We can't find it for some strange reason. We drove through the same (very nice) village 4 times, but no airport. All of a sudden, I saw the sign, hung a sharp right, quick trip through Narnia, then out the other side to the airport. Phew. Grabbed a quick cuppa then off we went. Edinburgh was damp and busy, but we had a brekkie and managed to fit a bit of shopping in (Zara - good shop !! Lexie will do ok this christmas again )

Meeting. Back to town. Beer. Back to Airport. On the way back on the bus who do I see ? Gordon Bird from ADP !! Madness, havent seen him for 2 years, and there he is in Edinburgh for the week with his family for the Fringe festival. Good to see him. I like Gordon, he's a good bloke.
Anyhoo, back to the airport, bought the obligatory bottle of whisky for Kev, had a meal, plane delayed (grrrr), landed in Bristol at 8.15pm, home by 9ish.
Knackered. Kev was back from Preston and between us we sat in a tired stupor and drank copious amounts of wine for 2 hours then crashed into bed exhausted !

Saturday - did boring stuff (washing, cleaning), did a bit of shopping, collected Jacky boy. More wine. Saturday over.

Sunday - Anna, Si, Debs, Johnny arrived, had lunch at the Beefeater and some beers (not for me cos i am driving later!). Debs loves Jack cos he is just like their dog Sooty ! All off to bed by 9ish. Up at 2.30, drove the guys to the airport. Waved Kev off too at 5.30. Day off Monday, and spent most of in and out of sleep !!

Normal week. Gav has just been 'crowned' Apprentice of the Year at his college, so he and Laura are coming up this weekend to celebrate !

what has happened in the last 2 weeks ?

Kev's new job is going well, although his first contract is for at least 4 weeks in Preston ! So barely seen him since he started. The pay packet is lovely though, so Homesense might get hit quite hard soon.

We finally found a kitchen table at Ikea. Fits into the kitchen perfectly, and it is nice to have Sunday lunch at a table inside, instead of on the garden furniture !!

No more room for anything else new now. But still need to tidy the garden, hang some blinds in the kitchen and bathroom. Plus the spare room needs a coat of paint at some point. And the ensuite has to be redone. But nothing urgent !

Got some fabby new boots from Cushe (well ebay !). Sooooo cute and comfy, and a total bargain too.

Anna and Simon are coming up this weekend, looking forward to seeing them, and Debbie & Johnny too,before they jet off on their Ibiza holiday.
Beefeater Sunday lunch well and truly booked.

I get to jet off too, to Edinburgh for a one day work trip ! Me and Clare are being let out together - madness !!!

Jack is off to the kennels for a couple of days - his own little holiday trip.
So tonight will be pretty quiet - just me in the house.
But as I have to get up at 4am (!!!) to get to the airport for a 6am flight, then I don't think I'll be up late !
