So, here we are again. Half term over, and I'd tell you all about it but I've forgotten it all. Right now it's all house-tidying and Performing Arts Week and Jeremy's away again and how much exactly to have some new bedroom furniture?!?
Actually now I mention it some vague memories of half term are stirring.
A very happy couple of days spent in the west country with friends, involving unfeasible amounts of yomping up and down some substantal hills, eating about every hour-and-a-half, and generally revelling in what felt like the last of the year's sunshine.
A day spent in Chiswick at the pool, delicious hamburgers for lunch, and finding to my horror that Whittards are selling Flying Saucers at what I consider to be an extremely reasonable price. And discovering to my even greater dismay that Sid likes them too. Now I have to share. Ugh.Odds Farm Park for pumpkin carving - thank goodness the day was cold and gloomy and sporadically rainy.
Kit's school has forgagged regular lessons in order to study (study! HA!) foreign continents. Kit is engaged in learning all about South America. One week! For a whole continent! What are they going to do on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday? Be that as it may, Kit is taking in my Venezuelan passport for the edification of his schoolmates.

Oh wow - what fantastic pumpkins. Can we have a blog vote as to which child relates to which? My guess wd be, from L to R - Beri, Kit, Sid. Don't ask me why, though.
Only surpassed by your Venezualan (?sp?) passport photo. Is this your baby face in response to 'how much for bedroom furniture?!'
Speaking of furniture, and thence the dreaded IKEA catalogue (passim), happened to be on the website and checked out the new online delivery service (just for the meatballs, you understand. I can stop any time I want.)
So, not unsurprisingly, it does not operate in my post code - but does in yours!
And, by the way, did you model for the booking-a-late-delivery shot which you get when you put your details into www.ikeapostcodecheck.co.uk?
I especially like the green patterned headband. WHY??? Because her hair is getting in her eyes and stopping her typing the product number?
Did you do the church homepage all by yourself?
Amaizing!
Elaine, Your pumpkin guesses are UNCANNY - every single one is wrong!
Yr Maj. - yes I did. Aren't I clever?
Oh, and I forgot to mention, we never did get to IKEA, Because We Didn't Need To. We are making do with what we have. So there. But yes, the girl in the photo - the resemblance is quite startling, isn't it?
Yes, very clever. Teach me!
IKEA: Discovered that not everything there is bad. They have loveley glass salad bowls.
