700!

How did that happen? It is 2 years since I signed up to Blip. So many things have happened in that time. I do wish I'd realised at the start how much the gaps would irritate me. Although the lazy gaps don't annoy me as much as the 2 gaps last July (Mulsanne Straight and Ferry leaving Roscoff). I still have the corrupted card if anyone thinks they can help?!

The lovely Eternal has made it though - 730 consectutive blips today! I think she is the only one of us who started this together who has managed it.

Anyway, today we decided to zoom up to Bristol as a family. We started late after a bad night with Lily and Red but made it for lunch with Nanny and Aunty Ruth. Ben went off with his Mum and Aunt to visit his step dad who us recovering well in hospital after surgery on his spine. I took the kids to The Mall.

They were angels. Really they were absolute stars. It took us ages to get shoes for Ally and Lily in John Lewis but the fitter was fabulous and it was worth the time it took. So I rewarded them with toys. Then we went hunting for birthday presents for Daddy. But The Mall is rubbish unless you want clothes so we weren't overly successful. So I bought them an ice cream each for bring patient and not moaning.

Back to Nanny's to feed the kids (and us) then home again. if only tomorrow was going to be a lazy day...
