Sunburn, ouch

Kev is on his second week away in Aberdeen, not long now. He says they had nearly 2 hours of sunshine at the weekend , wow.

Clare stayed overnight at mine last Wednesday which was lovely and we had some wine, plenty of chat, and a Chinese takeout. Which unfortunately revisited me at around 4am, and didnt go away til 9.30 am. Not nice! felt very dehydrated and sorry for myself for the rest of the day.

Saturday - gorgeous day. Got up and finished painting our garden fence. Then had a bath and went shopping. Homesense, again. Bought a fabby new rug for the lounge, bargain (ish !). And a few bits of Xmas pressies. Spent the rest of the day sat in the back garden doing some cross-stitch. Then a pizza and some wine for tea.
Strictly Come Dancing is back - YEAH . Austin Healey is on, and danced an awesome waltz bless him. Can't wait for this series, really loving it already. And very sure that Gary Rhodes will make me cringe every week !! hee hee

I appear to have lost my little dog for a couple of hours. He has decamped to Sarah's next door ! When i peaked round the fence he was sat in their lounge, as if he lived there, the little scamp.

Sunday - glorious day. Did as little as possible, but sat in the garden all day with cross-stitch again. Realised later that my legs, chest and arms are quite nicely burnt - ouch ! hey ho, i seem to do it every time, my bad.

Grand Day Out

Still smarting from my fall on the bus on Monday last week. My left foot (yeah i know, i should write a book) is deeply bruised and my left arm too.

Worked from home on Wed, dropped Jack off at his hotel in readiness for our team day out.
The activity centre was great fun, it was really muddy and wet but great fun. We did blind driving, RAGEbuggies, clay pigeon shooting, archery and hovercrafting.
I loved the hovercrafts, but not the buggies. Everyone was covered head to toe in mud, but all had a great time.


Then off to Tortworth Court Hotel, which is gorgeous. An old, sprawling 4
* hotel set in amazing grounds. We had a lovely meal, and plenty (oh did we ) to drink. The Sift awards I made went down well, everyone seemed happy.
Much drinking and a very late night (early morning) followed.
Thankyou Sift - it was fab.

Friday - came back to the office, caught up on mails, etc. Kev came home around 5pm, but was off on a leaving do in Cheltenham on Saturday, so Jack and I were alone again !
Sunday flew by in a blur, Kev is away til Wed, and the winter weather is here with a vengeance. Its disgusting today, totally disgusting. And I look forward to spending the rest of the day in soggy jeans. YUK

Ouch

Not a great start to my week. I took a bit of a tumble on the bus.
Stood up to get off the bus, but the driver braked sharply, and I flew 4 foot down the aisle. Luckily the ticket machine stopped my face !

Bruised my feet, legs, left arm, shoulder and hand. My left cheek has a bit of a mark, but luckily not bad.

Doing that attractive walk today, when you can't bend or move any part of your feet or body - nice !!!

Happy Birthday Jack !!!

We've had another busy few days. Gav & Laura came to stay last weekend. We went shopping, bowling, and had a lovely meal at Frankie & Benny's. yum, yum, yum.
Picked Anna, Simon, Debs & Johnny from the airport on Bank Holiday Monday. Kev cooked pasta and chicken for all of us then all the kids went home. Packed Kev's bag and off he went again to Preston. Another weekend over !

Lexie has chicken pox bless her. At least its over with early.

Nipped down to see Lexie on Saturday. She was sooooooooo cute, you'd never know she was poorly. Full of fun and was a total Grandad's girl ! (which was lovely).
Popped in to see Anna too, and she gave me a lovely bunch of flowers.

Quite a quiet day on Sunday, then Kev packed off again for another week.

Work are going out this Thursday/Friday for our activity day. looking forward to that, and have a few little surprises up my sleeve for some of the guys too !! hee hee
