We have just had a four day weekend. Its been wonderful. I stayed home on Friday and finished the decorations for Keira's christening cake (will post pics next week) and then spent the rest of the day in the sun. On Friday night, we went to Joanne and Willy's for Chinese. On Saturday we slept late, which was much needed. I did a whole lot of washing, including washing my car! Karl and his father managed to make some kind of suspension contraption in the garage so that our sofas are not leaning on each other ( forgot to take pics). On Sunday, Mark and Christima and Barry and Harps came down, to see the Olymoic torch. It passedat the bottom of the road, and we waited in anticipation, I must say I was disappointed, I dunno what I expected?! A bigger torch maybe?
Anyway, after that the 8 of us went out for a yummy dinner at Harry's. When we got home, we set the fire, poured some wine, put on our pjs and were subjected to anotehr quiz. It was so much fun though and competitive as always. We fell into bed at 2am. We spent Monday infront of the fire watching tv. And while the boys were away, playing golf, the 4 ladies watched the Help. Harps, Christina and I have read the book and we were eager to see it. So Karl hooked up the laptop to the tv and we thoroughly enjoyed it.
On Monday evening, Karl and I went up to Belfast for a braai at Orna and Enda's place. We met some really cool and interesting people. And got home just before midnight.
Today, Christina, Mark, Karl and I started interval training for running. It was all going very well until Christina fell. She already has a weak ankle, which she hurt a couple of months ago. So Mark had to run home and get the car and fetch her. So today was mostly spent reading and watching tv as if started to rain a bit. We also got my mother-in-laws 60th birthday party plans sorted.
I am flying to England tomorrow morning, to meet my good friend Clare and her bump :) On Friday I head off to Ellesmere Port (near Chester) to see the Bellis-Jones' and my precious goddaughter, Keira Lilly. I am so excited. Now I just need to do my hair and pack.
