Birthday Party & Cricket

Spent yesterday in the garden, mowing, strimming but mainly building our new garden pagoda. It took a while but amazingly we finished it. Steve was dangling off a ladder putting the finishing touches on.






About 3 o'clock our friends came round for a barbeque and some drinks. Really lovely day!

Here are some pictures:

Dentist again

Went to the dentist on Monday morning to have a filling fixed. It had worn away and I had to have 3 injections to numb my mouth before removing the old filling. My mouth felt so swollen and my tounge was just ridiculous, I could hardly speak. My mother-in-law suggested I drank my tea through a straw, which worked a treat, but apart from that the whole day I felt horrible and the injection makes me feel totally depressed.

Anyway, that SAME afternoon, the new filling gave up on me too...
So the whole day of suffering was for nothing and I had to ring up Tuesday to make a new appointment.

So today is the day, back to the dentist at 1pm to sort it out again. I am dreading it and the thought of those 3 injections...brrrrr....makes me shiver.

Sympathy please

Sunshine

Oh what a morning. The sun is shining, the birds and chirping away and Ellen let me sleep til 7.30am!!! Can you believe it. For weeks and weeks, its been 6am and a minute later. So hurrahhhhhhh for today!

Today I am going to check out a nursery for Ellen. Its just up the road and if I am going to start working once or twice a week, we need to find somewhere for Ellen to hang out. Will see how it goes.

Then, got a friend over with her 4 month old son Archie. Going for a walk in the sunshine and possibly a spot of lunch.

Its Steve's birthday today. Going to make some breakfast in 30 minutes and wake him up with some pressies and breakfast in bed. We're going out for dinner tonight so that will be nice.

Last night we went to the pub for the pubquiz. Usually Wednesday's quiz is way over our head and we hide under the tables when they read out the scores, but last night we were rockin'. The two of us came second with only 1 point less than the winning team of about 15 people...or something like that...
I was knocking back Whiskey and Cokes and that obviously helped my brainpower..!!!

Anyway, its time for me to get cookin. Birthday boy is waiting!

Over and out
