I really cannot believe I am starting a new post just after 1am! I'm not going to take hours over it, as I normally do, I just want to bring my grand total of five followers up to speed on the latest goings-on in my presently happy little life!
Last week was equally as busy as this one, it was Whitburn's School production: Wind in the Willows. Robyn took part, looking resplendent in her stoat's outfit, singing her heart out and acting her socks off. I do wish she had warned me that her finest moment would be when she was to shoot Mr Toad! She has well and truly made her mark at Whitburn, and I never tire of pupils asking me if she is my daughter, her singing in the Harvest Festival got her noticed; she was fantastic! I'm allowed to say that, I'm her Mam!!
This weekend saw the christening of the latest additions to our ever-increasing family - my cousin Dominic's twin boys, Vinnie and Jimi! The christening was entertaining to say the least; the vicar was quite possibly drunk, wearing a grubby jumper,almost dropped one of the babies, and then at the end of the service, he walked down the aisle without saying a thing! No goodbye, peace be with you or nothing! Charming! Bemused relatives all round gradually edged out of church to find him at the door, offering the limpest of handshakes - quite disturbing! Anyway, we all headed for the 'do' afterwards which was smashing, I had been looking forward to catching up with family I hadn't seen in ages and it was lovely to watch Grandma surrounded by 18 of her family, from all three generations! The boys were brilliant, recovered quickly from their drenching at the hands of the comedy vicar (honestly he was from the Rowan Atkinson School of Priesthood), and they were then passed round all of the family and never squeaked once! The two-tier Spongebob christening cake was fab too...at the request of our Dom, who clearly loved having us all there! A great day!
This week,thankfully and conveniently, it's half term! I'm moving house in about 72 hours, I still have 4 rooms to pack, one house to clean, another to inhabit, and many hundreds of pounds to part with for the privilege! Seriously though, I cannot wait! I'll only be moderately sad to leave this house,moving here was under difficult circumstances and although we have settled here, I never felt like it was a home to be proud of, as I did with my previous house. I think that our new house is one I deserve to live in, after working for so many years to have a beautiful home where I had the children, it was hard to swap it for one with flowery carpets and an old fashioned kitchen. It has however been host to more parties, family meals and get-togethers in one year than I had in 16 years at the other place! That speaks volumes to me!
On that note, I feel that I should retire to bed,knowing tomorrow is another chaotic day, and I need to be up early! Hopefully I shall have an internet connection quickly organised, more than 24 hours without facebook etc is just too much to comprehend! Back soon!
