Evening All,
What a wonderful day eh!!!!!!! Glorious sunshine and hardly a cloud in the sky all day.
Woke up to a cuppa tea in bed served by my lovely husband, not sure there is a better way to start the day. We all lazed around in our jimjams for far too long probably and then I made bacon sarnies which fuelled us into getting our butts into gear and dressed, apart from Jack who surfaced nearer lunchtime.
Now as you all know, my parents left enough plants on their visit that I could have entered a show at Chelsea.........however, they all needed planting and my garden has been neglected a bit. So it was garden day........TONY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I did a bit yesterday (well all down one side border) and today I am feeling the after-effect......gawd my leg muscles ache from bending up and down. So I supervised a lot today with Tony doing the work, of course I provided the much needed refreshments.
By lunchtime the grass was mowed and I had planted up two long troughs with the help of Sean and Lara. It was too nice to come inside so I made a picnic lunch of various sarnies, breadsticks, grapes and drinks and much to the neighbours annoyance (haha) we plugged in a small stereo and ALL (yes even Jack braved the sunlight and amazingly didn't burst into flames LOL) sat around on blankets, chatting and eating.....even Dexter got in on the act ;) We really need to do this more often, I LOVE MY FAMILY
Once all the garden was looking goooooooooooooooood, the younger kids begged for the tent, in fact they have been begging us for years to let them camp out in the garden but even though my garden is not particularly large.......I've been too chicken to let them. But you know whats coming right LOL.........Sean and Lara are camping out tonight.....the sidegate is bolted and Tony has piled all the bikes behind it. The kids are sooooooooooooooo excited (Lara even more so cos her hamster has been keeping her awake lately), they have their gameboys charged and their mobile phones (of course LOL) and enough sweets to completely rot their entire sets of adult teeth. Guess who WONT be sleeping much tonight and no....not cos of that ;)
Tomorrow Lara myself and Tony are off to the coast to visit my parents (OMG twice in one week LOL) as its my Dads birthday. I am allowing the boys to stay home, getting quite liberal in my old age ha ha.
Right now, we are all back in dressing gowns watching Britains Got Talent!!!!! Who's it gonna be?????

Drew that positively made me laugh out loud........shame she caved but Eleanor is such a delight to read about in your blogs.
I have no doubt you will get your revenge ;)
Lara told me that she got as much as sleep as in her room, instead of hamster keeping her awake - Sean talks in his sleep LOL
Reminds me of my next door neighbours, when they got their new campervan the kids had to sleep in the roof bit the first night to christen it, which meant their Mum had to sleep in to - its was parked on the drive at the front of the house. She had apologised in advance if they were noisy, there was lots of giggling - but they were as quiet as mice overnight. Bless
