Good morning, Peeps! Monday, again!
Still on school break, so that is a plus!
- If we were having chai, I would tell you that Hubby Dearest had some time off this week, too, so we were all able to chill out together, including a little mini break we had planned.
- If we were having chai, I would mention that I did my nails at home, thinking that would make me feel like writing a bit more. Unfortunately, it didn’t work, however, they still look lovely!
- If we were having chai, I would say that we went to London for a few days for our minibreak. We enjoyed dinner out at some lovely restaurants around Canary Wharf and went to Oxford Street, Carnaby Street, Leicester Square, and Covent Gardens to do some sightseeing and shopping. Lil Princess really wanted to go to the London Sealife Centre, so the two of us headed there for the afternoon. Much as I don’t agree with keeping creatures in captivity, the majestic-ness of the sharks and turtles, the rays and the fun. of the penguins was still entrancing. And I love just sitting there watching the fish swim by. The tranquillity we felt was unreal! I took plenty of pictures, too, but haven’t posted them as they are for our memories!
- If we were having chai, I’d tell you that, if you haven’t read my post from a few days ago, Lil Man also got his A-Level results. He did very well, and we were able to celebrate together while in London. Next stop is not Uni for him, but looking for a higher level apprenticeship in something like sales and marketing. Good luck, my boy! We doped off the week with a cricket match on a glorious Sunday afternoon.
- If we were having chai, I’d share that I was excited to see the below added to the Straight As a Jalebi listing on Amazin. All reviews are 4+ star! Have you downloaded and read your copy, yet?
- If we were having chai, I would bring it back to Sonu Singh. I could blame him for my lack of words, but that wouldn’t be fair! And, he suits my chair, don’t you think?
I have two weeks left of the break. This week, Hubby Dearest is back at work. I have a couple of appointments to take the kids to, as well as trying to pop into school on at least one day, plus another appointment for the in-laws. I’ll try and find time to write… if my brain lets me, too! But, I am also meeting friends for tea/coffee one day, which I am looking forward to, too!

But I Smile Anyway...

Just talked to a friend I met today. She has three kids too and all grown-up when even some still need financial support. But it is great to see them moving into a constructive direction or already in a solid life of their own. What more could a parent wish for, right?
