Hello....
Well, surviving the half term break, despite the awful weather. Usual guaranteed safe havens for entertaining DCs a wash out! Know it's because I just spent 200 squid on kiddies summer shoes (kids mostly wearing wellies though!!!), and stupidly bought 'high summer' stuff - bought 2 WC dresses (ash linen and ash shirred detail), a navy linen dress and white cotton dress from Noa Noa. Oh, and Whitestuff short turn up shorts I found to be good. Oh, and 2 Lexington beach towels...v nice. I hope this weather turns, but in any event, looking forward to proper hols in France.
Did manage to have a girls drinks eve last week, and wore new Zara blazer, grey zipped skinnies and wedge sandals....then had kids disco, and Jubilee Party in the sun on Monday - result!
Ooh, I think its brightening up. Thanks heavens for Usborne sticker books (of which we have several million), and DCs who like to make things out of any old trash useful bit of cardboard.
Rather like their Mother, though, I fear...who has been painting all manner of objets and furniture, in varying shades of off white/grey/taupe etc...and accessorising with all sorts of vintage fabrics...really, really excited about the new place - can you tell? They are allowing us to have french windows on our bedroom....cannot wait....., But really, we are ecstatic!
Oh, and appears Dad is making good progress...was in icu for 2 weeks, v seriously ill, but now on ward. Fingers crossed. Count your blessings....
