Sunny Bank Holiday!!

Which is almost unheard of in the UK!! The Uni girls all set off safely this morning on their drive back, and didn't seem to mind too much having to get up relatively early (after their late night DVD session last night). Apart from LMS forgetting her contact lens solution they seem to have picked up all their stuff too - AMAZING!! I've got a text to say they got back safely :-)
After lazing around all morning not doing much of anything, me, Mr Messy and Little Prince went to the nearby shopping centre to get a new TomTom Navigator GPS thingie. He is charging this back to his company, so was able to buy one of the top of the range ones, with a built in radio receiver that picks up traffic alerts and redirects you round bad traffic!! We wandered round the rest of the shops and bought Little Prince a couple of new t-shirts as we've noticed now the weather is brightening up that loads of his are too small for him now! Then we decided to have a drink and cake in the coffee shop, where we met one of his teachers and his teacher for next year (they are sisters in law). Little Prince was quite put out at this and hid behind me and wouldn't speak to them lol. He did enjoy his smoothie and cake though, even if he had to keep hiding from his teachers!! After that we decided to drive home the longer, more scenic route and apart from a little bit of whinging Little Prince seemed to enjoy the drive, me and Mr Messy certainly did :-) Driving along in the sunshine with the sunroof and windows open, along quiet country lanes and past gorgeous smelling fields of Rape (the smell of which always puts me in a Summery mood). Hope the weather stays like this for a while longer :-)

It was too hot to run today! We have had a fantastic weekend and have actually got our garden sorted post scaffolding and builders. Things are back to normal and the decking and tables are clean, herbs re potted, new bedding plants and new grass seed where needed!

Hope this weather lasts as we have also splashed out on a new BBQ!

Love S

Hi S,
I agree its much too hot to run, but I'd think that in the middle of winter lol.
Sorting your garden out sounds fab, we've got to wait till our builder has finished building the new wall, and then we can sort ours too :-)
We splashed out on a fancy gas powered BBQ last year and it was very well used, can't wait till we are all straight again and can fire it up again :-)
Love
Janet
