The summer's nearly gone
The fine weather has been blown away by northerly winds and the evenings are drawing in.
I wish it weren't so.
I do kind of like Autumn but I do not like all the financial strain of back to school, extra curricular membership costs and increased fuel bills.
I also do not like having to get everyone up and ready to leave the house by 8.30 each ( Read more... ) -

It all looks so familiar. We had a chip pan/kitchen fire in around 1994/5 and our photos show similar aspects.

Another milestone
The kids have gone on a 2 night camp with the beavers this weekend. They were very excited to go and there was minimal fuss when I left them. One sad face from Ayesha and that was it.

Sports day all round
Today was sports day where I work and sports day in the kids' school. Amazingly the weather was beautiful and all went well. In work we had four teams of four kids (red, yellow, green and blue) and four events (pegging clothes pegs to the line, throwing beanbags in a basin, timed obstacle course and relays). Unsurprisingly everyone won a medal ;-) ( Read more... ) -

It's quite like LJ in format, isn't it? I'm not sure what I was expecting, exactly. -
Abandoned ship
Nobody's writing here anymore!
It used to take me ages to trawl through my friends' page and now it takes a few minutes and I keep checking to see if I'm not logged in and only the public posts are showing..
