just because..
1. Today i have been mostly wearing winter coats and large jumpers….its May and its cold. The weather is here is like some eccentric old dear, you just have to nod and smile and put up with its madness.
2. Today all our kids, except the tiny one, got to swim. It was a fairly massive undertaking mainly due to the ratio system adults:kids that they operate here, means that Isaac is the only one who can swim without an adult supervising…and Maisie and poppy have to have one adult between them. It laughable really, all our older kids are really good swimmers…Isaac recently got his 100metres badge..i mean, im not sure i could swim that far and yet the Life guards view us with complete suspicion. Anyway Ben was delegated adult supervisor and he froze, God love him.
3. We are watching the west wing, i may have mentioned that…and there are a few occasions when reality is blurring and going fuzzy round the edges. For example, the american president has been here these past couple of days and i keep expecting them to be chatting about President Bartlett and not Obama. Speaking of which, he went to Ireland right? why? His great great great grandfather was from there. hmmm..think i might be able to conjure up a relative who lives in sunny Oz to warrant a visit there?
4. Half term is here, which is good for us. =)
5. im continuing to work through the wedding shots, this is a cute one that captured a moment, all be it a bit fuzzy which is annoying but i think it really captures a sense of fun in the little flower girls
6. J bird had an 8 month check, she is doing all things an 8 month old should be doing. Go jemimah.
7. On monday i walked a neighbour's daughter home from school for her. She is older than my kids so poor girl got her ear bent by Maisie ALL the way home. Mostly about dogs, Maisie is currently on a mission to get her own dog. good luck with that.
8. I am currently neglecting my blogger feeds, i tend to read blogs that are linked into facebook or twitter now and then only if they load pretty quick on my iphone. Its hard to imagine life without instant access to the WWW? I guess we would survive tho! 🙂
9. Whats the acceptable amount of time between bedding changes? just asking?
10. Next month it is June, in fact that is in a very few days and then i shall be on the final countdown to you know what 🙂
