THE SUMMER HOLIDAYS ARE HERE!!!!

Just a short note to celebrate the fact that the summer holidays are officially here! In school this morning for a staff meeting thingy, but as of lunch time, the holidays rule! In 2 weeks we'll be in sunny Cyprus, although with the weather as it is at the moment it's not too bad here! Fantastic thunder at 5 am this morning! Have to say I only ventured out of bed to shut the window, didn't watch the light show like Mrs Green!!

Nearly the summer holidays!

Well, it's been quite a week. Steve's grandad who has been very ill with cancer died this week. Obviously Steve is very upset about it, as are whole family. The funeral is next Wednesday, and Steve might be saying something at it, although that's not being definately sorted till tomorrow night when they meet with the vicar.
Aside from that it's not been too bad a week... in that the summer holidays are creeping closer! It's been school trip this week (to Heaton Park, very nice) and Sports Day (not too hot and not too bad!!) A week and 3 days of school left!! Roll on the summer holidays. H.x

The drain is nearly done!!

We are nearly done!! The bit of the drain that they took out and then had to put back in is now back in!! And it works! It's all connected up and working beautifully. My kitchen no longer smells, and the yard looks slightly less like a bomb site!! Will have to post a picture later! Just the stone to go back down and some soil to disappear and we'll be done!!
