An early trip to a birthday party at Rollerworld.
I've not roller skated since I was about 10.

Oh it was fun, straight back into it ..... I had worn my shorts, but was missing the leg warmers.

Charlie, not so keen. I coerced him around the rink for about 40 minutes, and have a 3 inch gash in my leg after a massive collision.

Following this, I dumped him on the side to watch with the other kids who weren't so keen, so I could continue my roller world dream.

This afternoon a trip to anti macasser land. I was pleased to find out that they have ordered a new three piece suite and curtains, to change the 'look', and 'get a bit more modern.'

Then I saw the samples. Who knew you could get doilies sewn into arms of sofas.

The kids commandeered grandma's camera and spent a long time taking it in turns to be photographer/assistant, ordering everyone up for portraits.

In other news, this week I ordered a 6 pack of Sanpellegrino Limonata with my shopping, to drink mid week as an alternative to wine. Thinking healthy thoughts and having to get into a swimming costume again soon.

When I looked at the sugar content, I realised I would be better off having a glass of wine.


Tonight I am adding some large slugs of vodka to it, (the limonata not the wine).


I must say it is a vast improvement.
