Back to life, back to reality....


do you have that song in your head now? Hee hee!!



Well, it's the last day of holiday and it has been a really good one. Our trip to Nottingham to visit the Mitras was chilled and fun, as usual. It's great to have friends you can easily relax with; and now that they have a Wii (!!!) we really had a laugh!!




Mae became an expert at bowling (even getting a few turkeys, which you may or may not know is a run of three strikes)- and Geoff played baseball!! I think that a Wii will be our next big purchase, especially since we are not buying the house we made an offer on- the family are too greedy....




Mae and Maya and Jamie all played really well together and we all went out for a nice Indian meal together with Helen's sister and her son. I really missed our big meals out with Joy and Helen, which stopped when children came along.


So tomorrow its back to school, work, and clearing up Christmas. I may hit more sales....


I hope you all have a great 2009. There's alot to look forward for us this year. Geoff gets to see Cerys Matthews in concert, I get a trip (or two) to Stobo, and there's at least one new baby coming. Happy 2009!!!

That first picture is not back to reality. It's back to frivolity. Unless frivolity is your reality. Which it may be Stobo-addict. Bummer about the house though, that is a shame. And, where is the new baby coming from? And arriving at?

More details on this baby!!
You forgot to re-mention the Wii in all the things to look forward to! I love Wii... and I hate all other video consoles/games, whatever.

I was wondering if that baby comment would cause a reaction! Sister-in-law Elaine is expecting in May, that's ALL!!!!
