Running

Emily and Beth completed a cross country run at Beth's school on Saturday, Emily ran all the way round and was amazing. Beth also ran her socks off along with her class mates.

Warrior

Beth had a school fair on Saturday to raise money for their swimming pool renovation. They were joined by a 1066 battle re-enactment troop, this is Beth sizing up a shield with her mates.

Mr and Mrs Joyce

Spent a lovely evening with the Joyce's at their wedding reception on Saturday night. It was a proper Ramsgate party.

Post Holiday Blues

Grrrrrrrrr. It's hard going back to work after a lovely family holiday, especially after what happened before we left to go away. However the week passed without incident and we made it safely to the weekend. Bekie is on a hen weekend this weekend so it is just me and the kids (who have found this first week back especially draining!).

Keith, Lois and I have booked tickets to Liverpool Festival of Psychedelia in September. It should be a great do with lots of shoegazer, droning types of bands playing.

Beth has got new glasses. Last weekend she had her eyes tested and the picture below was taken after the pupil-dilating eye drops were administered.

Poisonous Gas by Beth Stringer

Alas I smell gas!

The war is so mighty

When will I ever go back to Blighty

I hope the war won't last long

What is that smelly pong?

Britain is the biggest nation

Where is the cleaning station?

I wear khaki-green

All my comrades are so lean

We have guns, no buns

I am underage, locked up in a cage, captured by Germany

We had a night attack and I am free

Sadly I got covered in wee

I see a wild boar lying down on the floor

He was shot (not by a robot)

Back from Tenerife

Got the holiday blues after 7 lovely days in Tenerife. We all had a lovely time and Granny B had a memorable 70th birthday. Back to work tomorrow and not particularly excited about that but I'll console myself with the photos from our trip - some of which I'll post here.
