Visited my folks today. Mum had babysat 2 of my nieces and my nephew last night, and my brother and his girlfriend came down with the baby. Means I got to see all of them at once! Yay

I visited my parents today and took a wee run in to see my niece and nephew.

My week so far

It’s been a weird kind of week. Monday/Tuesday I didn’t feel great. Won’t go into it but womens things, suffice to say lol
I suffer a lot from that and it hit me this week.
I didn’t take Andrew to classes this week as I didn’t really feel up to it, but he doesn’t mind as it means he gets to cuddle up to me a lot more!
Monday we had 2 of Johnnys pals back for tea, twins who are hard work! Luckily I got them all out in the garden.
Tuesday we had another pal back with his mum and baby brother. Also ended up with Ann and Katie here for tea.
Love it when we have few pals back, makes time pass quick.
Yesterday we went to Monkey Bizness soft play then Pizza Hut for lunch.
Today Andrew has been at nursery this morning and is having a nap just now.
Johnny has a challenge to do for nursery when we get back later. He has to find out about camouflage and take his findings into nursery! He and I will do that when we get home, wish us luck!!

My weekend

nannyf — Sun, 09 May 2010 14:44:46 +0000

I never have very exciting weekends. The odd few have visits to my parents and other family on the West coast, but this wasn’t one of them!

Craig has been off all weekend. We decided we would go somewhere yesterday with Holly as it was a nice day. By the time we got ourselves ready for that it was gone 12! So we took her to woods behind a local park, Callendar Woods, which is in Falkirk. It was lovely, quiet, and I even got a bit of impromptu geocaching done!

We came back and Craig cut the grass at the back, one lawnmower wasn’t working properly, he burnt out the motor on the small one! He then managed to fix the bigger one thankfully.
Dominos pizza tea then watched Saturday night tv – You’ve Been Framed, The Whole 19 Yards, and Britains Got Talent!

Today we took Holly to her usual walking place along the canal. Again it was quite quiet but there were a few cyclists about. We went from there to do the food shop, and on getting back home Craig conveniently found someone to talk to while I unpacked the shopping, hung out the washing and made the lunch! Unbelievable but unsurprising!!

Craig then dug out a few plants from the front garden which I wanted out, I did more washing and the dishes.

He is now having a sleep on the couch while I’m watching tv and catching up on a few things online.

My exciting weekend, NOT!!

Been a while

nannyf — Mon, 26 Apr 2010 11:47:01 +0000

Ok so it has been a while then! I think I’d best make a pledge!

I promise that I am going to attempt to keep up this blog, if not daily, then as much as I possibly can!

I’m back to work today after an extra week off. The boys, and their parents, were stuck in Lanzarote for an extra week due to the volcanic ash situation. I came in last Wednesday to do the wee bit of ironing/washing to discover the kitchen flooded due to a tap being left on upstairs by the cleaner! So much for a quick hour catching up!

So far this morning we have taken Johnny to nursery, been to Tesco for a few things and also been to Jo Jingles, Andrews music class.
Andrew is having a quick nap now before lunch, then we get Johnny at 2.45. Weather seems nice so hopefully get them out in the garden once we get back

Colour versus Black & White

I’ve been experimenting with an app which let’s me take black & white photos.

I have put in the colour photos also to have a comparison

A few photos I took while out walking Holly at the weekend.

I love the colours you get when out during Autumn/Winter
