Half term highlights

This gallery contains 16 photos.

This is going to be a photo blog. It’s been a fabulous week or so and I think the pictures will speak for themselves. It’s been fab and thanks to vouchers, BOGOFs, special offers, Christmas presents, ooopsies and other things it has not broken the bank either. Hope your week was good too 🙂

Labelled “Wonderful”

This gallery contains 4 photos.

We went out for dinner on Saturday night, it had been planned for a while as it’s my Dad’s birthday weekend and he really wanted to go to the Italian restaurant we had been to for my birthday. The demons were rather excited about this as they love getting dressed up and going out.  As […]

Feeling Autumnal

This gallery contains 1 photo.

It’s certainly Autumnal now, the Indian summer we experienced at the very beginning of the month is well and truly over.  It’s cold, wet, grey and I am actually enjoying it. OK I am not loving not being able to dry the clothes outside or to get out for walks but on the whole I […]

A week in Washington

This gallery contains 1 photo.

Well technically it was 8 days in Alexandria but that does not scan as well and I am a fan of alliteration. It was a holiday without demons, a proper grown up holiday for grownups. So obviously apart from the time spent drinking we spent the entire time saying how much the demons would have […]

Another 48 hours

The past 48 hours have been pretty hectic actually.  There has been the usual demon-wrangling, the laundry mountain to tackle, the feeding of the demons which is a 5 times a day sort of thing. There has also been the fitting of the new flooring in the kitchen. This replaces the one damaged by the […]

How is this even possible?

How is it possible that the elder demon will be seven at the end of the week. Seven years old. SEVEN! I ask you, seven? He’s still a baby or at the very most a toddler. Well that’s it,  I have had enough he’s stopping at seven, no more say I! I’ll let him be […]

Adaptable me

I’m nothing if not adaptable. Tonight one of my oldest friends is coming over for a barbecue with her daughter. This is the friend I only just got back into contact with. I am so looking forward to it but the weather is not playing ball. It is tipping down with more rain forecast. What […]

Off on our jollies

This time tomorrow I will hopefully be in Bruges.  I had hoped to be sitting outside in a cafe somewhere enjoying a Kriek or three but the forecast is not good so I may be inside a cafe enjoying a Kriek or two. We are driving down to Dover tonight and then getting the early […]

Another fail (of sorts) and a new challenge

This gallery contains 1 photo.

OK so the 30 takeaway free days challenge has not been achieved. That’s OK as the reason it was not achieved was a bloody good one. It has been Father’s day this weekend and normally I would take my dad out for Sunday lunch or cook one for him. However this Father’s day fell on […]
