Up, up and away......

I'm so excited. Tonight my wonderful fiance is booking a hot air balloon as an early birthday pressie! Not quite the same as the plane to Rio, but I'm really excited. I know it's putting your trust in a load of wicker propelled by fire, but hey, at least we won't need to backtrack if he forgets a lighter for his ciggies!

Alice In Non Wonderland.

As a treat I told my daughter we could go and see a film sometime during the holidays. Of course, Alice In Wonderland sprang immediately to mind but I heard it may be a little 'dark and twisted' for her viewing.

"Of course it'll be dark and twisted" she replied. "How much fun would it be watched with the lights on and being able to see where we're going?"

Oh, well. I suppose half the fun is misjudging your footsteps and landing on the knee of a handsome young prince and crushing his Cornetto?

Bread and Butter

As we washed the teatime dishes tonight, Rach and I pondered over somethings and nothings. Asking if I was working tomorrow, I told her that, unfortunately, I was and hoped she would be a good girl for her father.

"Oh, no worries there, mum" she assured me. "I've already hidden one of his trainers and I'll help to find it tomorrow before we go out.......but if it rains I'll just keep it where it is!"

It's an awful habit men have of losing shoes. It's my purse when we shop together that I often forget! Tut!
