We’ve had a really nice week, I even tried to take some pictures but kept forgetting to clear the memory card . Round-ups are useless because I forget so much (I really must get back into the blogging habit) but we …

Had a picnic, Wednesday was a gorgeous day so we packed up a picnic, sunblock & park toys and headed off for the afternoon. C ran, scooted and played for hours & I got to read my book. Afterwards we headed of to Waitrose to get Ady & Simon a cake & so I could fulfil my craving for raspberries.

Went to the theatre, on Thursday A, Gwenny, C & I went to see Joseph. As anticipated Gwenny & C adored the show, it was fun but I could have done without the 75 five year olds sat behind us (eating bananas *yuck*).

Had a party with cake & wine, Nic & Ady came up on Thursday & Nic babysat the non-theatre going children. It was as always very pleasant - I believe the children played Slaves or some variant.

Socialised, on Friday we went to ERAPA as usual, I was exhausted & the heat didn’t help much. C ran around like a mad thing while I shouted at her to keep her hat on. Friday was also Girls’ Brigade, C apparently had a trip to the woods to pick flowers (and rocks ) and play hide a seek. She was exhausted when she got back.

Had a day in bed - well me anyway! Saturday was really busy for C & S, ballet, another trip to the theatre & shopping while I lay in bed with an awful headache. I felt a bit better in the evening & we went out to dinner (Pizza Express) to celebrate our wedding anniversary.

Nothing much happened on Sunday - ballet related trauma at some point I think.

Yesterday C & I went into town to get Simon a birthday present & pick up a prescription, we had lunch there then rushed back for swimming. C has moved into a new class which I am much happier with. We rushed off to my parents’ afterwards for a birthday dinner.

Work stuff - lots of reading (Farmyard Tales, Dr Seuss, Usborne Beginners), bit of maths (Singapore - not a favourite I have to admit), CGP science & some handwriting & phonics.

We have a plasterer coming this evening for a quote - I’m starting to fantasise about unpacking my boxes! We need to get the house sorted before the … ahem … baby.

Due date came & went … not much to say. We all miss her. Loved her very much.
