I don't know...

... where the time goes. I used to have something to write about every day. Yeah, it was mostly boring stuff, but it was enough to get a hundred words or so out of.

These days WEEKS pass before I realise that I haven't written anything up here.

My life is pretty much all about Kendal these days. And while he's always doing things that are 'new', they don't make for very exciting news to anyone else.

The college course is OK - nothing earth shattering, but it gives me a bit of 'me' time, which is a bonus.

Dave is also in college (Thursday nights) doing a Psychology A level - he's not quite sure what he wants to do with it yet i.e. whether or not to use it as a foundation and take it further - I guess he'll know by the end of it.

Kendal is over his bronchiolitis, but will no doubt catch the cold that I've got at the moment - and we'll be worried about him all over again.

He's at church at the moment with nanna and gan-gan, he loves going, lots of singing and running round afterwards with the other toddlers. He always comes back shattered!

Of course, it being Sunday I've had ironing to do, it's the only time I can get it done safely. If Kendal is around he always tries to pull the iron off the ironing board, or decides to crawl or stomp all over the clothes I've just ironed - bless him (Grrr.)

Sorry for the absence...

... we've been on our ollerdees. We only went to Spain, visiting Paul and Paula (Dave's brother and his wife). Just for 8 days. It was a nice break. Boiling hot though - not good weather for a little 'un, though we managed to stop him getting sunburned thanks to factor 50 lotion.

We bought a video camera during a day trip to Gibraltar - tis a lovely thing, and takes pretty decent quality video too. Our old one seems MASSIVE in comparison.

We have returned home with a poorly baby - again. He has only just got over Gastro enteritis (sp?) and has now caught bronciolitis. Gah! I can't believe how he seems to catch everything that is going round. I guess that's babies for you.

Back to the grindstone anyway - I have a mountain of ironing to get through, I managed to get half of it done yesterday while Mini Mint was at church with his nanna and gan-gan, but god knows when I'll be able to get the rest done. Ironing sucks! I miss the days when I brought home a wage and paid someone else to do our ironing. Now that we're down to one salary I can't really justify it though. Shame.

So - what did I miss while I was away? I haven't had a chance to check out all of your shenanigans yet.

I know you can't see much of him, but I love this picture of Mini Mint. He looks so grown up and confident. He's taking a walk with his dadda in Nerja, Spain.
