    This afternoon we went into town, so that DS2 could buy the suit he was coveting for Leavers' Assembly and any other formal events. My baby all grown up...

    That was me too yesterday buying the suit. DS1 at his prom tonight, looked so grown up and smart - where have those years gone:(

    Back from school meeting
    blackcurrants picked
    raspberries picked
    strawberries need picking.

    Toots - tomorrow I'm playing the 3 bin shuffle, it is a a level I have yet to achieve. I hope that made you smile as I know you are sad at loosing your friend. Another star in heaven but it's not easy sweetie, take a huge hug from me xx

    I need to go rest with a child, who will fall asleep first:o

    The boarder is finally off.:j:j:j
    Rhys now in a foul mood and i'm hopeing he isn't coming down with something. Tho it could just be his teeth, he has another 2 cutting through.:( It's going to be a long night.

    3 now in bed so i think i'll be going very soon. The kitchen clean up can wait until tomorrow morning.:o I'm too tired.
    Sometimes it seems that the going is just too rough.
    And things go wrong no matter what I do.
    Now and then it seems that life is just too much.
    But you've got the love I need to see me through.

    'Oh, and those [picture of Hammond organ], they use them in music like that Onion tune...'

    And WhereTF did she learn that? It's not in the school curriculum.

    Surely she couldn't have learned it through me - she'd have had to listen occasionally.....
