Mostly...#2

Thought I'd do a little round up of what's been happening in my neck of the woods:

• Mr Husband Sir has now recovered from the evil sick bugs and I'm hoping that we're all on the road to recovery. I am so bored of germs! As soon as this snot disappears I am determined to stay fighting fit...

• That Baby came home from school Friday beaming with pride at receiving a special award sticker from her Headteacher. I was a proud Mumma. We asked her what it was for and she replied "Sitting still and keeping quiet" . Hey, you've gotta take praise wherever you can get it, right? *despair*

• I'm planning my first night on the tiles since "This Baby" arrived in a couple of weeks. Some friends from work and I are plotting cocktails and amusing dancing, I am ridiculously excited, it's all in the anticipation for me!

• We don't "do" Valentines here, it makes me wretch. Love how Husband checks every year that I haven't irrationally changed my mind. This year I'm going to a WI meeting instead. I'm dead looking forward to it, we have a speaker coming to talk about Haute Couture who worked in some of the big fashion houses. In our little village? How cool is that?

• Last night we joined my Ma and Pa in their extension for a really lovely meal cooked by Pa. I didn't picture the starter, it was too delicious and didn't last long: Brie cheesecake. Amazing! Followed by quail, followed by posh trifle (retro) followed by coffee and white port (who knew?) flippin YUMMERS all of it, thanks Pa xxxx

That's about it really..... How are tricks with you?

  1. A few points of note:
    1. It took one very sensible husbamd (mine) to cue me into the fact that valentines day = total bs. I'm glad I rounded the corner. I'm glad you didn't irrationally change your mind ;)
    2. I'm sick. AGAIN! (the moral of this story is that toddlers are cesspools)
    3. Keeping still and quiet? That's like kind of a total coup. Amazing.

    1. There's no way St Vals is making a comeback, I would way rather gorge on a shed load of chocolate on the 15th and feel smug.

      Sorry you're not well! You're so right, they are walking talking bags of germs!

      Hadn't actually thought about it til you said it, she NEVER sits nicely and remains quiet at home. Split personality at four, we're doomed!

  2. Sorry you're sick! I think I am getting something as well. I feel like this season I have been more sick than I have in my entire life; it's so weird.
    I am also pretty fickle about Valentine's Day. This year it is on. We are going to go see Die Hard 5 :)

    P.S. I found you through the lovely Tabetha @ A Closet Intellectual (I am also on her sidebar for the month).
