To feel the powerful beat..

Flip, I am turning into Nigella, I swear I am, except unlike Nigella, I am completely content with my curvy bits.

Yesterday, I made Chili, I made meat and potato pie, I made rice pudding. I came home tonight, and I have made coconut haystacks (Thanks Kath)... Chucked some flour and stuff into the bread maker.

And am now sitting down to continue with my latest crochet creation.

Today, I took photos of BAE Hawks, which came flying into the Airport in a formation, and then landed individually. Their take off was as brilliant. They lined up side by side, and then took off one, two, three, with seconds between each one.

I feel quite satisfied with my day, and have chatted with both my kids. Boy is recovering from his Snapback and Tattoo party, and yes, his tattoos were quite stupendous.... and is travelling to Ohio next week. In addition t0 his Mate Renzo's name tattoo'd over his neck, he had S's name under a love heart on his arm.... He appeared to be hiding the one on his right arm!

Girl had an entertaining night with her flatties and associated student mates - with raids on other flats and a discovery of a new thing, she said.

I know exactly what she was describing, and I love that my daughter would tell me exactly what they had been up to, and that I was sniggering in delight at the fun she is having.

This is why you have kids... to just completely relish in the fun that they are having and to know that they are shaping up exactly as you wanted them to!
