It seems ages since I've settled down to write a blog post. I've been busy with stuff as usual and the fabulous weather has meant I've been outside a lot when I'm not working. However, today, which is supposed to be the hottest day of the year so far, I am back at work and looking at the blue sky from my window. I shall be finished by 2pm though so plenty of time to get home and chill in the garden.
I would head down to my hut but we have a wedding reception to go to this evening and I fear that if I go down to the hut I won't want to come back until it gets dark!
Hubby has had this week off...much deserved after lots of hard work...so he has been around a lot at home. He had some bad news about a friend last week and went to visit the friend on Thursday and came away quite positive about things which was good.
Om Wednesday we went to Winchester and stayed overnight in a hotel with a pool! We had a fantastic steak dinner, visited the cathedral and also went to the Winchester Science Centre which was much more fun than it sounds.
At this point I was going to upload some photos to brighten things up but I seem unable to do so from my iPad for some reason. How very annoying. Oh, here you go!!
Apart from work and Winchester, I have had another session of CBT which was interesting, been to see my grandson who celebrated his 2nd birthday and did so by falling asleep on me for the first time in his life ( I loved it!), also saw granddaughter number 2 who is growing up so fast it's scarey. She drew me a treasure map and told me to go back when I had found the treasure. She's only 3! She also has the most beautiful hair. Curls to die for. I'm sure they will drive her crazy when she's older if my youngest daughter is anything to go by and who has curly hair that drives her to distraction, but at the moment it's beautiful. She was also wearing a crown while I was with her which just added to her 'princess'ness. I'm looking forward to lots of trips to the hut with the little ones this summer.
I've also made the final payment for the villa in Florida for our holiday and been to visit my dear old father in law who is still obsessed with shares and quiz shows on the TV!
Yesterday I spent a little time with my bestie and her granddaughter who is 3 months old and a beautiful little thing. My bestie is beautiful too by the way!
My son is off to Barcelona for a few days with mates and that's always a bit of a concern to be honest. I'm not sure if Barcelona will be able to survive their partying. I'm always grateful when any of my kids return from their travels safe and sound but even more so with him because , despite my nagging and reminding him to be careful, I'm in no doubt that partying and much more besides goes on. I have seen that programme about suspicious parents following their off springs on their jaunts! I would hate to see what goes on really and I just want them all home safe and sound. Here's hoping!
The other thing that I have decided to do, apart from the Race for Life next weekend and which I've done no training for, is to have a Poppy Picnic down at my hut on June 21st. It will be open to everyone and I will be providing cakes and tea and maybe a BBQ if the weather if half decent. The picnic is the idea of The Royal British Legion and it's a way of raising funds for our forces. I think it's a fab idea and it means that I can invite everyone down to see my hut, they can spend the day at the seaside and hopefully have a bit of fun. Any donations received will go straight to RBL. The invitations will be going out soon via email, text, post, carrier pigeon, whatever method I can find.
I think it could be a really good day and I will be able to show off my hut to anyone who wants to see it but hasn't been able to get to it yet.
So, if you're reading this and fancy a trip to Hayling Island on June 21st please keep a note of the date and you can pop along if you would like to. The more the merrier I think.
So that's it for now. Things to do, people to see, photos to be added maybe too!
Have a lovely day,
Lots of love xxx
