That bit closer to the big 4-0
Thankfully this years birthday was a whole lot better than last years (with the exception that Kevin & the girls forgot :-)).
I had a lovely day out shopping with Mum and we had a little afternoon tea party after school.
The evening ended on a more “exciting” note. We went to get takeaway pizza for dinner (after singing lessons) but our pizza was given to another Kevin. So we had to wait for them to remake our order. Then I got a flat battery as I’d left my car headlights on – thinking I’d only be stopped for a few minutes while Amy went in to pick up the pizza. Kevin had to go and buy stuff and come restart my car. Lucky it was a great tasting pizza – once we’d reheated it in the oven because it was cold.
Checking In
Sorry I haven’t been around much lately. It’s now just 2.5 weeks till our BIG trip so I’m spending all free time finalizing our plans and putting all the info into tripit. It’s a big job but Kevin assures me it will be well worth it when we can access all our travel info from our phones (even without mobile reception). We’re also watching lots of movies/TV shows in preparation. Yesterday I watched Rob Roy and later we watched some Kings & Queens of England and finally a History of England. Oh, and we also saw Robin Hood (which kind of counts) on Friday night.
In the last few weeks I’ve been trying to learn to the new DSLR. Slowly I “think” I’m getting it but my mind is very slow to catch on. Here are some of my fav. photos. The assignment to catch moving targets – playing in shutter priority mode.
A Puppy Party
On Saturday afternoon we had a little afternoon tea party for the pups. Rosie turned 4 last Tuesday and Bailey turned 2 on Thursday.
We were joined by Mum and Dad… who came with edible presents.
Of course there was a birthday cake – lemon syrup made by Amy.
The dogs polished off their portion in no time flat.
We all enjoyed the party, esp. the guests of honor. After eating and playing with their new toys, they were all tuckered out. I swear Bailey is one of the strangest dogs in the world :-).
