After the excitement of Friday Tom was at his second day of space school studying Chemistry on Saturday and then off to Murrayfield with Nick to watch Scotland get beaten by Ireland. I can't actually remember what Lily & I did so I guess it was mostly lounging! We had a fairly uneventful last week until Friday when Frances & Jenny came up for the weekend. We 3 went out to the Dolls House for dinner and then onto the Westport for a couple of drinks before calling it a night at around midnight. On Saturday we met up in town for a bit of shopping before returning to our house for coffee and cakes. I had taken the children to Waterstones so the children were busy reading their new books and left us to our gossip. All too soon it was time for the girls to leave and Tom, Lily and I continued the day reading, relaxing and watching telly while Nick was at work.
On Sunday Jen, Roddy and their kids came round for lunch along with Jason and his two so we had quite a full house. The kids ate in the kitchen whilst we sat in the dining room. Pudding was
courtesy of Jen and it was a massive and delicious pavlova.
After lunch the boys took the children for a walk and Jenny & I sat by the fire chatting until the peace was shattered when they returned in time for football on the telly. Mark arrived to watch the match too. Finally everyone went home and the house was tidied and I could put my feet up before having an early night.
Nick had Monday & Tuesday off work and took advantage of the beautiful weather for a couple of rounds of golf.

He played the Castle course on Monday and New course on Tuesday, this is a view from the Castle course.

I am slowly getting back into my running and hopefully will make it a permanent fixture in my life again this time. I have been running with Jenny which makes it easier as I know I would probably stop and walk occassionally if left to my own devices.
