It was another lovely day with the parents/grandparents!
We got up, I had my yummy smoothie, and after getting ready we went off swimming! Then Maccy D lunch, and I was feeling tired…. I went up and lay down at around 2pm to wake suddenly and 2 hours had just disappeared!!!
Got up, slight headache again… I think I’m grinding my teeth… But after a wake up cup of tea, we took the children to the park.
Lil Man and Lil Princess enjoying the park!
And we met a gorgeous 5 month Pug puppy called…Peppa Pug!!! Love it!

So now they want one!
But she was gorgeous!!!
Dinner was a yummy chicken pie n veg, and well, you saw the hot choc I treated myself to!!!
Sitting and chatting with mum and Pops ended our day beautifully, once the kids went to bed… And I saw midnight, just, but slept like the proverbial baby!
One other photo I took, which just made me laugh… All towns want to be picturesque to an extent, and its no different here, the town name sign adorned with a flower box… Great idea! Until the flowers grow and obscure the sign!
Its clearer now the tulips are losing their petals!
But that sign could sure do with a clean!!!
Have a great day folks!!!
🙂

On my throne...
I sit here, ruling over my subjects…
Or I lay in front of them...
Stroke me Minion!
Where's my food?
Feed me Minion!

I woke to a beautifully healthy smoothie made by my darling mum!
Somehow my good intentions git waylaid after swimming (still healthy!) when we passed a MacDonald’s… Kids wanted lunch, I ended up with a meal from there too! Later in the afternoon, I had a bowl of strawberries… Good… Then chicken pie, mashed potato and veg for dinner, still good, followed but the largest hot chocolate, complete with marshmallows melting under a topping of whipped cream…! Again it was the kids fault, obviously! They wanted one, they had small versions, what on earth persuaded me to have a big mug, I don’t know, but I’m feeling stuffed, and slightly sick now!!! Oh the joys of being back home!!!
