Blimey that was good…

Not sure I can cope with an hour on the edge like that every week though – and the incidental music really messed with my head. Good though 🙂 A worthy replacement for Desperate Housewives to a Wednesday night, and a weekly televisual treat to match Dr Who if it lives up to that first hour every week.

I had a bad morning really, we were supposed to be going swimming with Julie in an outdoor pool and although the weather has been gorgeous here all week I just didn’t think taking two snotty children to an outside pool was a good idea. I also had a thumping headache and a sore throat and simply couldn’t face dealing with a place swarming with children screaming and shouting either. I think Julie was a bit pissed off with me, but I’ve spoken to her again this afternoon and she was fine, so that was a relief.

Davies spent the morning watching Discovery Kids which we have not really watched before – very good channel although he was scaring himself silly watching all these poltergeist and other spooky shows, sat on the edge of the sofa, chewing his sleeve but refusing to turn it over – bless 😉

They’ve also played with geomags for ages today, Davies used them for the first time to make something recognisable and was creating some sort of bugs and mini beasts – should have got a photo really but Tarly destroyed them before I had a chance. He also recreated a motorbike stunt he had seen on TV with some toy cars lined up, books for ramps and a lego bike and had lots of cuddles.

After lunch they were starting to get cabin fever so we all got dressed (some of us were not 😉 ) and went over to my Dad’s. Had a very relaxing couple of hours with him while Frazer played with the children 🙂 talking about all sorts of things, including, coincidentally places we’d like to see before we die – something I had been pondering on myself.

Might be going a bit quiet for a few days as we are chez Portico for the day tomorrow and then packing for being away tomorrow evening. Will be taking the laptop and I believe the hotel has internet access but I don’t know if I’ll get the opportunity to use it…
