The week that was

It was a great week….starting in Fiji. Unfortunately it was the week we had to come home and back to reality…

But was almost worth it to see this crazy pup again. He and Rosie had a holiday with friends who have a dog. They slept ALL day the day after we arrived home.

It was the week of fluffy dogs….for  some strange reason they are molting now – well in Summer. I can only assume because it’s been rather cool until now.

It was the week of cleaning an almost empty fridge ready for restocking….

It was the week that started with a jammie day…. after a hectic few weeks I so enjoyed it.

The week that was

More cold, wet weather. What is it with this Summer? Unfortunately it’s supposed to be like this throughout. As you’ll see from the number of photos it was a crazily busy week, with 3 days spent at the school doing uniform shop orders, and a rather busy weekend.

It was the week Mum & I received some flowers as a thankyou from the school….

The week that was

It was the week I spent much time up at the school packing uniform orders (with the help of my wonderful Mum) . Both girls were home sick and Christy is still not 100%. It was the week Jasmine died at the ancient (for a guinea pig) age of 6.5yrs.
