I should have updated on my birthday, but I was too lazy and busy! 🙂 Last weekend was fun. I had a small get-together Fri. night and got drunk with some friends. I got two little fall-themed tins with candles inside, a Punky cow beanie baby, a figurine of Gandalf riding Shadowfax and a Dark…

We have been decorating for what seems like ages but is in fact only a week. Dave has built me shelves for TV and books on the wall where the radiator is (only solution was to build our own). We have also removed the window in what was the outside wall before this extension was…

We both enjoyed Averill’s visit. She arrived on Mon. afternoon and left on Fri. about 4 PM. We caught up on lots of news and went shopping in Reading. Also took her to Goring and the area around the Thames there. On Sat. Dave had a reunion with the Halton Apprentices. It was their 40th…

No I didn’t forget it was Sept. 11th. I remembered all those people, in Philadelphia, Washington, DC as well as NY. I still think the war in Iraq was unnecessary. I cooked the meal for Bernadette, Graham and their families. It was roast lamb and everyone loved it. Mind you, it was a bit chaotic…

Third year in design has begun. The first week went… well, just went. I was late for two classes because the double cohort has increased traffic along the road I take to school tenfold, plus there’s construction.

More about our holiday w/e. On Sat we went into Basingstoke to a swimming place which was great fun, it had lots of slides and a lazy river that you swam in, it had a currant which gently pushed you around in a windy stream. It was indoors. On our return Nick disovered he had…

On Wed. we had to go shopping for food and some toys! David promised to do work for me to pay for them! Thurs. we washed the car. David is very good at this, and certainly earned his toys!!! Dave’s cousin, Nick, Nick’s girlfriend, Yvonne, and her daugther, Hana, arrived Thurs. at tea time. David…

O.K. Daniel did not come in the end, he went straight home from his friend’s house. I was very grateful to Sandra and apologised profusely, Sandra was nice about it but I still feel mean. hope they can come another time. I cleaned and missed Dave, he was in Brampton, Canada visiting Christina (read their…

Thousands are dead in France because of the heat wave. That’s worrisome and sad… how can you not be concerned about global warming when things like that are happening? Mom, Dad – get an air conditioner!
