weeeeee........

Just completed a game of competitive Antiques Roadshow!! How middle class is that!

The cement has been poured around the house but not without some form of trauma...goes without saying!

The 8 tonne wagon arrived with the last load of cement to complete our solid moat. The young lad driving got a little bit ‘devil may care’ and misjudged the width of the turn. Before we knew it 8 tonnes was dangling at a 45 degree angle in the front garden. Jeffers had to run out to get the guy to change the rotation of the drum as with every turn the wagon was getting closer and closer to falling over and crushing the house as it fell. He then found the chap under the wagon’s wheel with a spade trying to dig the blighter out...one false move and it would have been him under the load as well as the house. 4 hours later...3 different diggers and loaders... and Jeff and the guys from next door (not the nasty ones) had managed to pull all of the cement off the machine and into the moat.

We had a magical weekend at Sandy Balls (good name - the pub next door is the Fighting Cock!) !

The workmen have decided not to come on Fridays as this seems to be the day of fun!
I have developed a new passion. Guitar hero! Ow, that is fun. The Ow is as I have got Guitar Hero wrist, a little known ailment of those with a wii. We spent the day with Sarah and John yesterday, and I sneaking off to play The One I Love and Band on the Run.

Today Baby Ben turned one. I cannot believe that time has flown so fast. He is absolutely gorgeous!

Alf was a super star at the footie yesterday - scoring 4 goals and loving every minute.

Oh, and I thought I would show you what our children get up to when they feel they are not getting enough attention from their parents...
