We need a holiday…..

So it’s just as well we are having one

We head off tomorow morning, feel dreafully disorganised, but have a nice pile of bulging bags in front of me so must have most things. Anyway we are staying near Venice – here.

Looks nice and warm, though the BBC is not quite so warm.

We are camping, Helen’s Mum and Dad, Sister, BIL and the nephew and neice are coming as well, so family time. Nephew is 6 months older than SB, so they will have a ball together

We’ve had busy few days, today H had a pretty crap day at work by all accounts, and they managed to cock up her pay and under pay her by a significant amount. Yestderday her Nan came home from hospital, we took our freezer down for her to put in porch, she was originally meant to have been home by about 2, but in the end it was past 5.30 pm. If we’d known we’d have gone and got her. Anyway she is looking well, and will hopefully get on ok. Theu keep changing what they are saying about exactly what support she will ahve at home to start with. I don’t tthink she really needs much help really, esp. with all the friends and family to help out etc. but it would be good if they could just say what they intend and stick to it.

So didn’t really start packing and sorting until yesterday, so quite please I managed to get it pretty much finished tonight without to much hassle.

SB went with my parents to visit the Raptor Foundation Saw various birds of prey, watched them flying, had a owl or something perch on her arm, sound like she really enjoyed it. Though when she spoke to me on the phone, she told me about some feathers she had found bought a big rubbery Eagle toy thing, which she used to chase all the other kids around with at nursey this morning Though she did go on about them eating bread (as we feed the birds in the garden) so an essential fact seems to have passed her by……….

Well time for bed and a good start in the morning, y’all have fun now ya hear. Might even do a holiday blog or two if there is internet access, otherwise see you in 2 weeks.
