Yesterday my daddy turned 64. My mum said he came downstairs in the morning singing…will you still need me, will you still feed me when I’m 64! I hope to have that kind of attitude when I turn 40 let alone 64! Bravo papa! In other news, the ducks at my parents’ house where in need of some water after the lining in the pond tore, so the whole family decided to help. Georgie as usual insisted on holding the hose and checking the whole situation was under control. Erm, even the cat seemed interested???? Looks more like he wants that camera OUT OF HIS FACE! Twas a beautiful evening. Georgie loved being outdoors, as usual and my soon-to-be home is finally taking form. Makes me so excited about moving there… Plus I get to see this crazy bunch all the time!
Even at the moment I was clicking on the ‘book now’ icon, I wasn’t really sure if what I was doing was ‘right’. I would be enjoying five whole days with friends I love, in a gorgeous European city, photographing all day,drinking coffee, smoking cigarettes, buying quirky bits and bobs, walking through parks…but without my baby. With only three days to go, how is this going to work, mummy?
Need I say ANYTHING! We are experiencing some weird weather conditions. It rained today. I think we’re nearing a tropical climate more and more every year. My really good friend Ilia was on TV this morning demonstrating her ridiculously perfect makeup skills. Woohoo! Georgie playing with his cousin in their new paddling pool. A beautiful breezy day at the beach where we also had some good old fashioned fish and chips with tons of vinegar! Devoured it in a second so no pics. Oops. Yiayia and pappou. Pick n’ Mix. Not really my idea of good fun unless chocolate is involved. Awesome birthday card. Homemade bolognese. Georgie in my dad’s MG. Mia and Oliver. Enjoy your weekend. I’m off to pack……..something is brewing…x
There’s a reason I sort of ‘believe’ in star signs. Georgie’s a Pisces and guess what? he LOVES water! I don’t know if all kids are as obsessed with water as my little dude is. If so then I have a question, parents? how do you ever get them away from it??? You have no idea how much the poor thing cried when it was time to go. He was inconsolable. When we’re at the beach, things aren’t so bad. But give him a hose, water and trees and he can mess around all day- now if only he had all day. Today he helped his grandfather water the cucumbers, courgettes and tomato patches. He was having so much fun until he got too wet, bedtime was approaching and I had stuff to do. He cried all the way home…all 10 minutes.xxx
