At long last, the summer holidays are here, hurrah!!
Don't get me wrong: the girls love school, and I like them being so keen to go. We have had some great teachers this year, and SATS results for year 2 made us puff up just a little with pride. But I for one have been dragging myself through the last few weeks of term, counting down the days 'til it all ends and we can stop using our watches. Freedom is not having to do anything by the clock, in my book.
Okay, so it's hot. Too hot really. But.....today we don't have to go anywhere that requires clothes: DDs are currently slobbing around the lounge in their knickers eating sausage rolls and cherry tomatoes, and you can't do that at school!!!. (Be reassured at this point before you start fretting dear reader, that I, in my rotundity, am wearing significantly more than knickers: you just never know when the doorbell might ring).
Yesterday we had visitors. The sort that willingly sit in a hot car for nearly three hours just to come and play. My lovely friend Claire brought her two adorable kids to see us, and we all had a lovely day mooching, chatting, eating, desperately trying to stay cool, and having a little play in the craft room. Happiness is four children, two old sandpits full of water, sunshine, and squeals of laughter! What more could a Mummy want? Thanks Claire, it was a great day (even if I forgot the chocolate cake!).
So: tomorrow it might rain. It might not. It might cool down, or maybe not. Tonight I am due to go sailing, but at the moment there isn't a breath of wind. Do mind? Not one bit. I am determined to enjoy the summer holidays regardless: for soon enough we will be back on that work/school/eat/sleep Merry-Go-Round, and sometimes it is nice just to get off, take stock, and enjoy just being for a bit.

I was actually a bit perturbed by the thought of Celyn being home AAAAAAALL DAY for 6 weeks, but I'm finding I'm actually enjoying it. And of course we live near many many beaches, so yippety skippety!
The bit about your rotundity and your knickers had me ROFLMAO!!!! Keep on blogging...you just amuse me no end! :-D (AND upload some of your scrapping please!) (shall I stop being bossy now?)
Okay, Miss, I promise I will put a pic or two up: just as soon as I have fathomed out how!! Off to crop tomorrow: will see what I can conjure up.
Two new tyres on your Skoda eh? How FASCINATING!!!! Which side? How much did they cost? Gosh, the list of questions in my head just goes on and on and on...
Bwaaahaaaahaaaaa!!
AND WHERE IN WALES ARE YOU GOING MADAM because if it's anywhere near me you jolly well better come and visit!!!!!!!!!!!!
Oh ROFL: don't know how much they cost: 'himself' paid! (but I do know how much the service cost: nearly as much as the car is worth!!).
We are going to Freshwater East, the other side of Tenby, going this Saturday, and coming home on Friday 18th. Camping! (i.e. living on BBQ and sitting outdoors until it's very dark, with no tv, telephone or any such other annoying things! Bliss).
Have just looked on the map, and you are very much 'en route', aren't you?! And we (the Skoda occupants) would be passing very close to you just after lunchtime on Friday 18th......
P.S. your e:mail addy not working?
I've emailed you Tina. Come visit me!!!!!!!!!
I LOVE CAMPING!!! It is bliss isn't it? I love getting up in the morning at the crack of dawn and (after the morning piddle in the loo block!) sitting outside the tent on a camp chair, cooking bacon and eggs and reading a paper. Or a good book. Heaven.
LOL, we have a loo too!!! No walking through the wet grass for me first thing. Bliss indeed!
Bless you Tina - only just seen this. Let's just hope we get to see you all again VERY soon ;)
